I've searched the forums and have been unable to come up with an answer to the following:
Can Aqua Mira tablets be used in the same way the late, great Klearwater was used: use less product and stretch out the wait time?
More specifically: can one AM tablet be used to treat 3-4 liters of water if the water is left to sit out overnight?
Many thanks!
AquaMira tablets release ClO2, same as Klearwater, AquaMira drops, etc (the active agent actually is free oxygen ions). There is no difference as far as I understand. Thus the usual CT (concentration times contact-time) relationship holds within a restricted range…more time means less concentration needed, and vice-versa.
Thus one can decrease the concentration and increase the time, but don't go too far as the other factors might come into play that break the linearity of the CT relationship.
I routinely decrease the concentration by a factor of two and increase the contact time by a much larger factor (i.e. over night) with drops, and I know of no reason that tablets are different.
