Each 600 milligram tablet provides 1.4% available chlorine, and enough flocculating agent for the clarification and disinfection of 1 liter of water from polluted sources at temperatures of 77 degrees Fahrenheit. At 41 degrees Fahrenheit two 600 milligram tablets will provide 2.8% available chlorine for the same purpose. Intended for the clarification and disinfection of polluted/suspended water, to make it bacteriological safe for drinking. Recommended for use during US military exercises. Can also be used for the general public where municipally treated water is not available or where available water is suspected of being polluted. Chlor-Floc contains a combination of flocculation and coagulation agents which promote rapid formation of sediment in treated water (sediment is easily removed by straining the water through a cloth). After clarification of the water the chlorine released by the active ingredients is then free to kill giardia lamblia cysts, bacteria, viruses, and other harmful micro-organisms which are not removed with the sediment. 30 tablets (treats 8 Gallons).

Rinse the sediment from the plastic bag and save bag for future treatment. Depending on the temperature of the water being treated 1 or 2 tablets are added.
