Why can I use SweetWater Purifier Solution with other filters or by itself?
The SweetWater Purifier System and Solution are regulated by the EPA and have undergone extensive laboratory testing to verify their efficacy as a system. SweetWater Purifier Solution is carefully formulated to inactivate viruses remaining in water that’s been pumped through a SweetWater Microfilter. Filters vary in performance. It is likely that more disinfectant may be required to achieve purification with other filters. Along the same lines, for the solution to work independently of a filter, you would need a very strong doseto the point of tasting offensive. The wait time would also be much longer than five minutes. And finally, cryptosporidia, which would have been removed by the filter, would not be effectively inactivated by use of the SweetWater Purifier Solution alone.
