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.
