FAQ's

WHAT IS PURINIZE?

Purinize is an all-natural solution of concentrated mineral salts and purified water. The Purinize mineral extraction and water purification processes are protected under U.S. patent 4,776,963.

HOW DOES PURINIZE WORK, SPECIFICALLY?

Purinize purifies fresh water in a four-part process:

  1. FLOCCULATION. when Purinize is added to water, it causes dissolved, invisible impurities, like dirt, organic waste, and other harmful contaminants to come out of suspension and agglutinate or clump together.
  2. AGGLUTINATION: The process of agglutination (clumping) occurs where impurities are neutralized as they clump together becoming insoluble. 
  3. PRECIPITATION: Once agglutinated, the insoluble, neutralized impurities solidify as they precipitate out of solution becoming filterable.
  4. DEPOSITION: The precipitates settle, becoming sediment at the bottom of your water container.  At this point your can either, filter and/or scoop, or pour the purified water.

HOW DOES PURINIZE DIFFER FROM OTHER WATER TREATMENT PRODUCTS?

Purinize's superiority is obvious when compared to other common portable water treatment products. Unlike other products, Purinize does not contain harmful, synthetic chemicals These chemicals are not safe for extended use and are significantly less effective than Purinize.

According to the NHMRC (National Health & Medical Research Council), before adding a disinfectant to water, to increase the efficiency of disinfection, the physical quality (particularly turbidity and pH) of the water should first be improved to decrease the likelihood that disease-causing organisms or pollutants will be harbored in suspended matter.

Purinize will clarify virtually any fresh water source within minutes as described in our four-part process.

The additional process of filtration is suggested for removal of agglutinated particulates; but the need for specific pore size or special filter media is not necessary as a paper filter, t-shirt or any portable water filtration device will suffice in real field conditions.

In the event that a filtration method is not available, after a short wait time (depending on turbidity), the particulates, through gravity and a process referred to as deposition, will descend to the bottom of your water container allowing you to scoop or pour the clarified water into another container.

HOW DO I USE PURINIZE?

Add the suggested amount of Purinize to your water. Mix well and wait a few minutes before consumption. We recommend using a 1 micron water filter (or smaller), such as the Sawyer Mini Water Filter, in conjunction with Purinize for the complete removal of fine particles, debris, and neutralized precipitates.

AFTER ADDING PURINIZE TO MY WATER, HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT BEFORE I CAN DRINK IT?

The required wait time before consumption is just a few minutes, regardless of particles or debris still in the water. It is recommended that questionable water sources are both pre-treated and filtered for removal of debris and particulates and to achieve maximum safety. When adding Purinize to a water source, it can take anywhere from 24-72 hours to notice any precipitates settled to the bottom of your water container. This does not mean that it isn’t safe to drink. Purinize starts neutralizing contaminants as soon as it’s added to water.

PLEASE NOTE: As Purinize is added to water, you may notice the water become slightly cloudy. This is normal and is cause by dissolved impurities coming out of suspension ( see Question “How does Purinize work”).

HOW LONG CAN I USE PURINIZE?

Purinize is 100% natural and completely safe to use on a continual basis.

WHAT IS THE SHELF LIFE OF PURINIZE?

Purinize is an all-natural mineral salt solution that does not contain carbon, which means that it won't rot. Because of this, Purinize will remain effective for many years, this makes Purinize the perfect solution for treating stored water. Purinize should be stored in a dry place between 45-95F.

ARE THERE LABORATORY TESTS ON PURINIZE TO PROVE ITS EFFICACY?

Yes. All product testing has been performed by independent, EPA-certified laboratory, Envirotek Laboratories. Lab tests can be provided for review upon request. All laboratory tests were conducted with a 0.2 micron filtration system for the removal of precipitates.

WHAT PATHOGENS ARE PURINIZE EFFECTIVE AGAINST?

Purinize has been found to eliminate or reduce up to 99.95%** the following pathogens:

  • Giardia Lamblia
  • Cryptosporidium
  • Escherichia coli (E.Coli)
  • Enterobacter cloacae
  • Proteus mirablis
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa
  • Klebsiella terrigena
  • Poliovirus I
  • Rotavirus

WHAT OTHER CONTAMINANTS ARE PURINIZE EFFECTIVE AGAINST?

Purinize has been found to reduce up to 99.95%** of contaminants in the following categories:

  • Industrial Chemicals including Volatile Organic Compounds, Hexavalent Chromium & BPA
  • Pesticides including DDT & Atrazine
  • Pharmaceuticals including Steroids & Antibiotics
  • Disinfectants & their byproducts including Chlorine & Trihalomethanes
  • Heavy Metals including Arsenic, Lead & Mercury

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF USING PURINIZE?

  • PURINIZE IS LIGHTWEIGHT & CONVENIENT
    • Our 2 fl. oz. pocket size is great for trekking. Convenient “drip” spout; will treat approx. 60* liters of water.
    • Our 8 fl. oz. size is great to use as a refill or for treating stored water. Convenient “drip” spout; will treat a 55 gallon drum or approx. 240* liters of water.
  • PURINIZE IS SAFE FOR CONTINUOUS USE
    • Purinize is 100% non-toxic and safe for everyday use, unlike other water treatment products that contain harmful, synthetic chemicals like chlorine, iodine, or chlorine dioxide. 
  • PURINIZE IS MORE EFFECTIVE THAN OTHER WATER PURIFIERS
    • Not only is Purinize effective against waterborne pathogens, but it's also effective against industrial chemicals, pesticides, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, and disinfectants and their byproducts, whereas most water purifiers are only effective against waterborne pathogens.
  • PURINIZE IS AFFORDABLE
    • $15.95 MSRP - 2 fl. oz. bottle will treat approx. 60 liters of water
    • $34.95 MSRP – 8 fl. oz. bottle will treat approx. 240 liters of water
  • PURINIZE HAS AN INCREDIBLY LONG SHELF LIFE
    • Unlike other products, Purinize does not lose potency over time.
    • When stored properly, Purinize will remain effective for many years.
  •  PURINIZE HELPS NEUTRALIZE BAD ODORS & TASTES
    • In fact, it may even improve the taste of treated water.
  • PURINIZE IS SAFE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
    • Purinize does not create harmful by-products when added to water.
    • Purinize can be used to remediate any freshwater source.

HOW DOES PURINIZE COMPARE TO OTHER WATER TREATMENT METHODS?

*Purinize begins to work immediately when added to water as contaminates are rendered inert. (see "How Purinize Works")As with any water treatment product, if water is suspected to be highly contaminated, additional solution and additional wait time may be required.
