Wexford, Ireland, May 26th2011: Medentech announces that Aquatabs, the world’s leading brand of water purification tablets has been registered by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 

In order to be registered by the US EPA, the brand and supporting data is subjected to rigorous checks and tests to confirm the delivery of the product’s claims in use. This ensures compliance on efficacy, the environment and product science. Registration therefore is a long and detailed process. This registration enables Aquatabs to be sold in the USA as it meets all the criteria of the US EPA, notably an independent laboratory verification of 99.9999% bacteria kill and 99.99% virus kill and very importantly includes efficacy against cysts such as Giardia with a 99.9% cyst kill.

Commenting on the registration, Michael Gately Head of Sales and Marketing with Medentech says “Registration by the US EPA very much supports the level of research and development work conducted in our world class laboratories to ensure that Aquatabs delivers top class efficacy in purifying water for use across global geographies. In particular it confirms the global quality and safety leadership of Aquatabs” He continues on to say “Aquatabs offers a real competitive advantage on a number of fronts. It has an excellent kill rate of a wide range of pathogens in just 30 minutes. Its product formulation is completely stable so it delivers consistent efficacy. As Aquatabs is a tablet, it is extremely portable making it very suited to adventurers and trekkers on the move”
