Whether you're traveling to Southeast Asia, South America, Africa, or any destination where water quality is uncertain, the question of drinking water is often one of a traveler's primary concerns. Drinking tap water, brushing teeth, rinsing fruit… all daily actions that can become risky when you don't know the origin or treatment of the local water.
The Dioxypure chlorine dioxide production kit is a compact, effective, and travel-friendly solution, including for air travel.
What is chlorine dioxide?
Chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) is a chemical compound that has been used for many years in industrial and municipal water treatment. It is recognized for its disinfectant and oxidizing properties, enabling the elimination of many contaminants present in water.
It should not be confused with chlorine: chlorine dioxide is a distinct compound, with a different mode of action and documented efficacy at low concentrations.
The Dioxypure kit consists of two 100 mL dropper bottles:
- Bottle A: 25% sodium chlorite (NaClO₂)
- Bottle B: 4% hydrochloric acid (HCl)
The reaction between these two reagents generates chlorine dioxide (ClO₂), ready for use.
How to: Purify a liter of water when traveling
Step 1 – Prepare the active mixture
In a small, clean, dry container, mix 3 drops from bottle A with 3 drops from bottle B. Let react for 30 seconds to 1 minute until a slight yellow color appears.
Step 2 — Treat the water
Pour into the water to be treated.
Allow to act for at least 30 minutes before consumption.
⚠️ Never consume the pure mixture. This product is intended for responsible use, by individuals who have read the safety instructions. The safety data sheet (SDS) is available at dioxypure.com. Under no circumstances does this use replace an approved potabilization treatment.
Why is this format ideal for air travel?
The 2x100 mL kit offers a major logistical advantage: each bottle is exactly 100 mL, which corresponds to the limit allowed for liquids in carry-on baggage according to international airline regulations (the 100 mL per container rule, in a 1-liter transparent bag).
You can therefore take it in your hand luggage, without any restrictions, without having to put everything in the hold. A significant advantage for multiple layovers, or simply to have access to the product as soon as you land.
Compact, lightweight, self-contained
Unlike bottled water bought locally, which is expensive, bulky, and generates plastic waste, the Dioxypure kit allows you to treat water locally, on demand, with minimal equipment. Two small bottles in your toiletry bag, and you have several weeks of autonomy depending on your consumption.
It adapts to all situations: hotels where you're unsure of the water quality, hiking in isolated areas, homestays, regions far from shops.
Usage Precautions
The kit contains chemical reagents. Handle with care in a well-ventilated area. Do not ingest pure reagents. Store away from heat and direct light. Keep out of reach of children.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Is the kit really allowed in the airplane cabin?
Is the kit really allowed in the airplane cabin?
Yes. Each bottle is 100 mL, which is exactly the allowed limit for liquids in carry-on baggage. Simply place them in your clear, compliant bag with your other liquids. However, we recommend checking your airline's specific rules before departure.
How many litres of water can a kit treat?
How many litres of water can a kit treat?
A 2x100 mL kit can treat several tens of liters of water depending on the dosages used, which provides comfortable autonomy for a trip of several weeks.
Does treated water have a particular taste?
Does treated water have a particular taste?
At the recommended dose, the taste is generally very slight, or even imperceptible. The longer the contact time before consumption, the more the chlorine dioxide naturally dissipates.
Can it be used on any type of water?
Can it be used on any type of water?
The kit is suitable for emergency water disinfection when traveling or in an emergency. It does not replace approved water treatment and does not filter physical particles. For very turbid water, it is advisable to filter mechanically before treatment.
How should I store the kit during travel?
How should I store the kit during travel?
Store away from heat and direct light. The bottles are hermetic dropper bottles, so they can be easily transported in your toiletry bag without risk of leakage.
Is the kit dangerous to transport?
Is the kit dangerous to transport?
Both vials contain chemical reagents that must never be mixed directly with each other. As long as they are kept separate in their original vials, transport does not pose any particular risk under normal conditions.
