Does Mixing Chlorine Dioxide Drops Turn Yellow and Smell Like Chlorine?

How to Use Your Chlorine Dioxide Water Purification Kit: Step-by-Step

Using the Water Purification Kit is simple, but precision ensures the best results. Here’s a detailed guide:

• Step 1: Prepare Your Container – Use a clean, dry glass or plastic container (like a shot glass) to mix the drops.
• Step 2: Measure the Drops – Add 3-5 drops of Part A (sodium chlorite) and an equal number of Part B (50% citric acid activator) for up to one gallon of water. For smaller amounts, use 2 drops of each.
• Step 3: Activate the Solution – Wait 30 seconds after mixing. You’ll see the solution turn yellow-brown and smell like chlorine, confirming the chlorine dioxide is ready.
• Step 4: Treat the Water – Pour the activated mixture into your water source, stir well, and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to purify fully.
• Step 5: Enjoy Safe Water – Once treated, your water is safe for drinking, cooking, or other uses.

This process makes the CD Water Purification Kit a must-have for outdoor adventures or emergency preparedness.
