Oxygen and water are essential to life... The United Nations reports that 80% of all diseases in the world are water related and that 50% of infant
mortality worldwide is caused by water borne diseases. (International drinking water supply and sanitation decade - United Nations 1981)
The requirement for a compact, easy to use, fast acting water purification system for use where water is contaminated was recognised as long ago
as the early 1900's. Most of the world's piped water supplies are
treated with chlorine. However, the conventional chlorine donor,

Oasis Water Purification Tablets are manufactured to an
effervescent formulation containing sodium dichloroisocyanurate
(NaDCC) - an organic chlorine donor with a superior disinfection
capacity to sodium hypochlorite, a near neutral pH and a simple,
easy to understand dosing system for added safety.
Each tablet is carefully manufactured to strict specifications
ensuring an accurate chlorine level for each application whether
for individual water consumption or large tank applications.

Instructions for Use
For the purification of water in tanks, 10ppm (mg/l) available
chlorine (av. cl.) is generally recommended. However, regular
tank cleaning and disinfection is essential, guidelines as follows:
i) Dose static tank water to 5ppm [Link]. and leave for 5
minutes to drain off.
ii) Using a suitable sanitising solution such as a 200ppm [Link].
solution mixed with a neutral detergent (or Biospot
detergent sanitiser tablets), thoroughly clean the tank then
rinse out.
iii) Place sufficient tablets in the tank to dose to 60ppm av. cl.,
fill the tank with fresh water and leave overnight. Check for
a chlorine residual of at least 50ppm [Link]. before
neutralising, drain off and resume use.
For all new water pipe installations, dosing the system to
50ppm av. cl. for a minimum 30 minutes before checking for a
chlorine residual is recommended.
