What Experts Say

Sodium dichloroisocyanurate releases free chlorine when dissolved in water. This chlorine disrupts the outer structure of bacteria, viruses and some parasites, making the water safer to drink after a set contact time, usually around thirty minutes depending on water temperature and clarity.

Health workers recommend chlorine based tablets like this one during floods, travel to areas with uncertain water quality, or whenever the safety of a water source is in doubt. One or two tablets are typically enough to treat around one thousand liters of water, following the pack instructions closely for correct dosing.

Flooding and contaminated water supplies are recurring problems in several parts of Pakistan, especially during monsoon season when sewage can mix with drinking water sources. Public health teams often distribute chlorine tablets like this one during such emergencies as a simple, low cost way to reduce waterborne disease outbreaks.
