[pct-l] An Aqua Mira Question



A good source for all your questions can be found at this site:

http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/00145.html

But in a nutshell, the answer to your question about mixing the two prior to
the hike is NO. Mixing parts A and B activates the chlorine dioxide and
begins the release of the oxygen that kills the pathogens. If you were to
premix it too far in advance...all of the oxygen would be released and the
remaining mixture would be ineffective...like a coke that has gone  flat .

hike?
