Return to Browsing Products
Ensuring your stored water supply is safe for consumption, can be a tricky task. Water captured on rooftops can easily be contaminated as debrit easily washes into the tank during a down pour. Drinking this untreated water can be unsafe and lead to illness. Treating water is essential to ensure good health for you and your family.
Davey offer a product called Acquasafe as an alternative to dosing with chlorine. Acquasafe is tasteless, odourless and chlorine free, designed specifically for tank water disinfection. With a residual life of up to 2 months, Acquasafe is low cost and non toxic and is approved by the National Health & Medical Research Council for use in drinking water.
Aquasafe contains a stabilised form of H2O2 which oxidises bacteria and pathogens more effectively than most chlorine-based sanitisers without leaving any toxic residue or taste in the water. Acquasafe destroys virtually all bacteria and virus, making tank water much safer for consumption.
Acquasafe modifies the environment inside the rainwater tank by removing micro-organisms and bacteria that is the food source for larvae. It also raises the dissolved oxygen of the water that mosquitoes and other bugs can find unpleasant.
Acquasafe used in drinking water supplies should be combined with one micron filtration, if the presence of cysts such as Giardia or Cryptosporidium is suspected.

Why Treat Your Tank Water With Acquasafe?
features & Benefits
Rainwater starts out clean, bacteria and virus free, but as soon as it hits a collecting surface like a roof top, dangerous bacteria can enter the water. Animal and bird droppings, dust, dirt and decaying vegetable matter like leaves can contaminate tank water. Each of these sources of contamination can lead to dangerous bacteria entering your water supply, like E. coli and streptococci.
As water stagnates it can also form an unpleasant odour indicating a problem with water quality and is likely to be contaminated.
Acquasafe uses patented technology to kill up to 170 different types of bacteria and virus including water borne lavae that can be harmful to both people & animals and protects your tank water from recontamination for up to two months.
Acquasafe is completely non-toxic and safe to use around your family. While most chemicals used for water disinfection are toxic (some are even known carcinogens), Acquasafe breaks down into oxygen and water.
Simple to use, Acquasafe test strips are also available for consumers to easily determine if re-dosing with Acquasafe is required.
Acquasafe has been tested and endorsed in Australia for use in water treatment by the National Health & Medical Research Council and the various state & territory Health Departments.
