HOW DOES POTABLE AQUA COMPARE TO POLAR PURE?
Both products are based on iodine, but Polar Pure contains iodine crystals, which make it less stable due to a higher vapor pressure than Potable Aqua tablets. Potable Aqua provides a controlled, consistent dose of iodine. Potable Aqua tablets have: 1) greater safety, 2) greater effectiveness, and 3) greater convenience. The dosage is safe — each bottle of Potable Aqua contains approximately one-tenth of a lethal dose of iodine, as compared to iodine crystals, which contain a lethal dose in one container. Using iodine crystals may produce varying levels of iodine, depending on the user s accuracy and the solubility, which is pH and temperature dependent. The use of crystalline iodine involves the casual use of a toxic quantity of iodine in unskilled hands. Potable Aqua tablets, when used according to directions, eliminate the possibility of toxic iodine levels.
