    Ok, I tried my darndest to search this but no luck. So….

    I use Aquamira Drops to treat my water, and then after waiting I add some Hammer Perpetum. My question is, do I need to wait to add the drink mix, or can I add it while the water is treating?

    (BTW, I know that I CAN do whatever I like with my water. I'm just wondering if it is written anywhere from Aquamira or another source that this makes AM less effective.)

    Turbidity (cloudy water) reduces the effectiveness of ClO2. I wait the prescribed time before adding Perpetuem to water treated with Aqua Mira.

    Generally, most fruity flavors have some acid in them. This could render the AM, drops and tabs, inefective.Sorry, I do not know the concentrations.

    You need to wait the prescribed time before adding other ingredients or consuming the water.

    Not what I wanted to hear, but as I suspected. Thank you all for getting back to me.
