Question 1

What is Aquatabs?

Accepted Answer

Aquatabs is a water purification tablet made by Medentech in Ireland and used in more than a hundred and sixty countries. Dropped into water, it releases a measured dose of chlorine that inactivates the bacteria and viruses that cause waterborne illness.

Question 2

Which tablet size do I need?

Accepted Answer

Tablet sizes are matched to the volume of water being treated, from a single glass to a large tank. Each product page lists what it treats, and the correct size and dose for your volume are printed on the pack.

Question 3

Does it change the taste of the water?

Accepted Answer

Treated water can carry a light chlorine note, the same reassurance you notice in many mains supplies. It fades on standing, and it is the sign that the water has been disinfected.

Question 4

Is Aquatabs safe to drink?

Accepted Answer

Aquatabs is trusted by aid agencies and households around the world to make water safe to drink, and it is designed for exactly this purpose. As with any water treatment, use the tablet size intended for drinking water, follow the instructions on the pack, and let the water stand for the time the pack gives before you use it.

Question 5

How many tablets do I use?

Accepted Answer

The dose depends on the tablet size and the volume of water. We never guess a figure for you, the correct number of tablets and the wait time are printed clearly on the pack, and they should always be followed as directed.

Question 6

How long do I wait before drinking?

Accepted Answer

A short contact time lets the tablet work before the water is used. The exact time is given on the pack, so follow it for the size you are using.

Question 7

Can I use it for a tanker or a storage tank?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Point of use treatment is exactly the right approach for tanker water and stored tanks, which is where contamination often enters. Choose the tablet size that matches the volume of the tank, as shown on the pack.

Question 8

Can I treat cloudy or muddy water?

Accepted Answer

Very cloudy or muddy water is best cleared first, by letting it settle and pouring off the clear water, or by straining it through a clean cloth, so the tablet works on clearer water. Then treat it as the pack directs, and let it stand for the time given before use.

Question 9

How can I pay?

Accepted Answer

You can pay by Raast, EasyPaisa, JazzCash, bank transfer, or cash on delivery. Choose your method at checkout and we confirm the details with you.

Question 10

How is delivery handled?

Accepted Answer

We record your order and its status up to handover, and we arrange delivery our own way, confirming with you directly. Your address and details are captured at checkout so nothing is missed.

Question 11

Do you supply businesses and institutions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hospitals, housing societies, farms, hotels, schools, and relief organisations can request a quote at trade pricing, with a proper quote and invoice. There is no obligation to buy.

Question 12

How do I place an order?

Accepted Answer

You can order through the shop on this site, add the packs you need to the cart, and check out. For a larger or a business order, request a quote and we prepare a proper quote and invoice. If you would rather arrange it in conversation, reach us on the contact page or WhatsApp and we will take it from there.

Question 13

When and how is payment arranged?

Accepted Answer

Payment is arranged directly with you. Choose Raast, EasyPaisa, JazzCash, bank transfer, or cash on delivery at checkout, and we confirm the details with you before the order is completed. There is no card gateway in this first phase, and we never store card details.

Question 14

How long does delivery take?

Accepted Answer

We arrange handover our own way rather than through a courier module, so the timing depends on your location and the size of your order. We record your order and its status up to handover, and when we confirm the order we tell you what to expect for your area.
