MSR MIOX Instruction Manual

HOW THE MIOX ® PURIFIER WORKS
MIOX is a high-tech municipal water treatment system shrunk to fit in your pocket.
The purifier uses ordinary salt, a few drops of water, current from two CR123 Lithium
batteries, and its proprietary technology to create a small batch of mixed oxidant
solution. The treatment, when added to water and given a little time, transforms
questionable water into drinkable water. Required treatment times vary for the
different microorganisms: Viruses and Bacteria, 15 minutes; Giardia, 30 minutes;
Cryptosporidium, 4 hours.
Combining salt and a small amount of
water starts the purification process.
