What is P&G Purifier of Water?

P&G Purifier of Water is a powdered water purification technology packaged in a 4-gram packet

It works like a dirt magnet, pulling dirt and contaminants out of unclean water

P&G Purifier of Water is made up of the same ingredients used in municipal water treatment systems

It provides a visible signal that the water is getting cleaner, even in highly turbid water, and this increases user confidence. It also provides residual chlorination so that the water will remain usable for about a day.

The portability of the light-weight packets makes them a viable option for distribution to victims of emergencies and natural disasters or to hard-to-reach rural areas

Only simple, readily available household implement – bucket, stir stick, filter cloth – are needed to use P&G packets
