Micropur MP1, which is
registered with the EPA, is an easy-to-use water purification
tablet that is effective against harmful bacteria, viruses
and cysts. It is the only tablet currently registered with
the EPA that effectively controls cryptosporidium, a
waterborne cyst. MP1 has been extensively tested using EPA
testing protocols. The test data is summarized below:
|
| Microorganisms Killed
|

EPA Water #2
(dirty, 4degrees C) |
| Bacteria |

| Virus |

| Cysts |

Note: Product instructions
have a 4 hour contact time. Fulfilling the role of
protecting consumers, the EPA requires that packaging claims
for Micropur MP1 communicate how the product performs in the
most challenging water conditions (water that is very cold
and dirty). While MP1 is effective against bacteria and
viruses in 15 minutes, it requires 4 hours for
cryptosporidium in cold, dirty water. Therefore, labeling
requirements include a 4 hour wait time for maximum consumer
protection (see chart above). |
