14 Water Purification: Chemical Treatment: Methods of chlorine treatment: AquaCure:
Designed for the South African military, these tablets contain
chlorine and alum. The alum causes the suspended solids to flocculate
and the chlorine adds 8 PPM chlorine. This is a great way to treat
turbid water, though it will leave a lot of chlorine in clear water
(The one tablet/L could be halved for clear water.)
The US distributor for Aqua Cure is:
Safesport Manufacturing
Box 11811
Denver, CO 80211
1 800 433 6506
Bleaching Powder (Chlorinated Lime) can also be purchased and used as

particularly when exposed to air, light or
moisture.
