Each product should have its own instructions for correct dosing. In general, the user adds the correct sized tablet for the amount of water to be treated, following the product instructions. Then they agitate the container, and wait for the amount of time instructed on the package, normally 30 minutes (“contact time”). The water is then disinfected and ready to be used.
