Produced in conjunction with Aqua Research and available only at Cana Provisions, the H2gO Quick Start Water Data Card is manufactured to the same tight standards and form factor as the rest of our Water Data Card family of products. Designed to be directly integrated with your other Water Data Cards, it contains all of the quick reference steps and troubleshooting steps on a durable, waterproof medium.
The quick reference card is not a new idea. It has been around for a long while - any time folks have wanted to retain critical, dense material that they would want to double check themselves on, especially in a stressful environment. They’ve taken all sorts of different shapes and forms from writing on bare skin with a permanent marker to ringed notebooks. Having been in the field, frustrated with excruciatingly small instructions that are either damaged by the water, difficult to read or require mental math to convert gallons to liters, or quarts to milliliters - we personally wanted a solution to take this guess work out of the equation. So we started simple: write it down. Have the material pre-recorded, so you’re not seeking it our or taxing yourself when you’re not at your sharpest point mentally. From there we refined this material - it’s easy to put too much information on these cards, where it detracts away from what is critical in the moment.
Aqua Research agreed with us in already including a Quick Start Guide with their H2gO. When we first were introduced to the H2gO, having a set of full instructions seemed cumbersome, but the little quick start guide was just right. After having crumpled them up, lost them, and generally just having had a difficult time with them, we asked their permission to produce this version of the water data card specifically to cover their device and integrate into the rest of the Water Data Cards that we carry on our person. Included instructions and features include:
- Step by step instructions on how to use the device including wait times and lid disinfection
- Troubleshooting for common errors or issues
- Specifications on the device

The H2gO GLOBAL is certified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as meeting their most basic classification for Household Water Treatment Systems. A single dose meets WHO treatment standards for viruses and bacteria, while in-house tests show multiple doses inactivate protozoa like Giardia and Cryptosporidium. Independent evaluations are in process to obtain approval at the higher level WHO classification as a "protective" water treatment system.
Wait the full appropriate treatment time. Do not add more water to the container after the treatment process. Adding water after this step will dilute the strength of the treatment solution and increase the risk of contamination. Do not add drink mixes to the treated water before treatment time is complete or treatment process may stop. To prevent drinking any contaminated water, the threads on the container and the cap must be rinsed with treated water.
The H2gO does not make drinkable water out of salty or brackish water. Do not use sea water. Choose the cleanest water available. Avoid water sources with high levels of chemical contamination, such as mine tailing ponds and sources near large agricultural operations. The H2gO does not reduce heavy metals or high levels of chemical contamination. Read the instruction manual and know how to use this product effectively. Do not touch your eyes while using the purifier. The H2gO creates a chemical oxidant that can damage your eyes. The same oxidant can also irritate skin and permanently stain clothing. Keep at least 12" away from your face and clothing while running and pouring into your water container. Rinse hands and purifier after use.
In the event of a life-threatening emergency, seek professional medical care immediately. User assumes all responsibility for the use of this product. User assumes all responsibility to use the contents per the individual manufacturer's enclosed instructions.
The dosages provided on the Water Data Card Family of products are in accordance and alignment with the dosages as recommended by the CDC and EPA for safe water preparation. Please note that these concentrations and doses are considerably higher than other manufactured options (Aquatabs, Aquamira, H2gO) and should be treated accordingly. Cana Provisions does not recommend the use of household bleach as your primary water treatment method due to the varying concentrations of bleach and its degradation/decomposition over time. Follow all manufacturers directions and personal protective equipment for the safe handling of bleach. Do not drink bleach. Your water treatment is your responsibility.
