The active ingredient is listed in the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines for the purpose of treating drinking water. Acquasafe breaks down into oxygen and water — leaving no colour, odour, or taste in your supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in three sizes: 1 litre (AS-1), 5 litre (AS-5), and 25 litre (AS-25).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAcquasafe uses patented technology to oxidise bacteria and viruses on contact, then leaves a residual in the tank to prevent recontamination for up to two months under normal conditions. One litre treats 15,000 litres of water — making it a cost-effective ongoing treatment for most household tank sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRainwater starts out clean but picks up contamination as soon as it contacts a collection surface. Animal and bird droppings, dust, dirt, and decaying leaf matter can all introduce bacteria including E. coli and streptococci into a tank. Acquasafe is designed to manage this contamination at the source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor added protection against protozoan cysts such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium, Acquasafe should be used in conjunction with 1 micron depth filtration.

It is listed in the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines for the purpose of treating drinking water. In use, it breaks down into oxygen and water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does Acquasafe protect my tank?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp to two months under normal conditions with standard dosing. Protection is reduced when new water enters the tank through rainfall — test and re-dose after significant rainfall to maintain effective treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes Acquasafe affect the taste or smell of my water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Acquasafe leaves no colour, odour, or taste in the water. This is one of the main advantages over chlorine-based treatments, which can leave an unpleasant taste and smell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes Acquasafe protect against Giardia and Cryptosporidium?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor added protection against protozoan cysts such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium, Acquasafe should be used in conjunction with 1 micron depth filtration. Get in touch and we'll recommend the right setup for your supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I know if my tank water is safe?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegular testing with Acquasafe test strips (sold separately) allows you to monitor the residual level in your tank and confirm when re-dosing is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much do I need for my tank?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the standard dosage table above — 1 litre of Acquasafe treats 15,000 litres of water with a 24-hour contact time. For urgent disinfection, the higher-concentration options listed above allow faster treatment times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it safe to use around children and animals?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcquasafe in diluted form is safe to drink and is non-toxic. It breaks down into oxygen and water with no harmful chemical residuals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size should I buy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1 litre (AS-1) suits smaller tanks or those wanting to try the product first. The 5 litre (AS-5) suits most household tanks and offers better value for regular treatment. The 25 litre (AS-25) is suited to large tanks, multiple tanks, or commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Davey","offers":[{"title":"1L Bottle","offer_id":45202688606252,"sku":"AS-1","price":32.2,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5L Bottle","offer_id":45202688639020,"sku":"AS-5","price":116.15,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25L Bottle","offer_id":45202688671788,"sku":"AS-25","price":371.45,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/5966\/6732\/files\/WT-AS-1-Acquasafe-1024x777_png.webp?v=1750812239","url":"https:\/\/www.filtrationstation.co.nz\/products\/davey-microlene-acquasafe-tank-water-disinfectant","provider":"Filtration Station NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
