D. Add water to the salt water bottle until full. This water can

be the same as the water you will be treating.

correct amount of salt to ﬁll the salt water bottle to the salt ﬁll line.

The salt in these chambers can be used to make the salt water in the

bottle while in the ﬁeld. The salt water bottle holds enough salt water

for about 10 applications. If the salt water bottle is lost, you may mix

salt water solution directly in the device reaction chamber (see

Step 2).

NOTE:

If the salt water bottle is not available, a pinch of salt (roughly ½

gram or 1/16 tsp) can be added directly into the reaction chamber,

A. Press and hold the activation button for 3 seconds to turn the

ﬂashlight on.

B. To turn the light off, press the activation button again.

NOTE:

All other lights on the H2gO

can be turned on. The ﬂashlight will automatically turn off in about 15

minutes.

USE OF OPTIONAL TEST STRIPS

A. After the required wait time described in Step 6, pour the

treated water over the test strip pad. (Do not insert the test

strip into the treated water.) Hold the test strip level for 15

seconds. (Do not shake excess water from the strip.)

B. Compare the free chlorine pad on the end of the strip to the

color chart on the test strip bottle.

C. An "OK" or "OK+" indication means the water is safe to drink.

D. If the test strip indicates "Too Low", add another dose of

disinfectant and wait the time speciﬁed in Step 5.

E. Repeat until a residual is present at the end of the wait time.

WARNING!

Do not wait more than 15 seconds to read the strip or the color may fade. Do not reuse the test strips if they

have already colorized.
