FreeBact® Water Mini – Water Purification Drops (produced by Xinix Global AB, Sweden) (Previously Xinix AquaCare)

Perfect to keep in your pocket when you’re on the go, in the forest, racing, camping, or traveling.

I’ve personally been using these drops for nearly two decades of racing, training, travel, and simply enjoying the outdoors. Our teams have raced across the world – from China to Africa and pretty much everywhere in between – and we have never once gotten sick from local water sources when using FreeBact® Water Mini.

The bottles are small and easy to use: simply fill your water bottle, add a few drops, shake, wait 1 minute – and drink. No hassle with filters, pumps, or waiting half an hour. Best of all: no taste.

Reliable protection

Inactivates all viruses, fungi, and bacteria – including E. coli, Legionella, Salmonella, and SARS-CoV-2.
Can also be used for hand hygiene after toilet visits, disinfecting fruit and vegetables, or cleaning minor wounds.
Effectively kills bacteria, viruses, algae, fungi, and protozoa – approx. 5 times more efficient than chlorine-based products.
Used for years by the Swedish military.
You’re not drinking chemicals – only safe water. No chlorine taste, just safe hydration.

How to use:

• Rule: 1 drop per 100 ml (≈ 3.4 oz) water. Wait 1 minute before drinking.
• If water contains visible particles (soil, sticks etc.), pre-filter with cloth, coffee filter, or t-shirt. Then double drops and time.
• Also great for making sure your pets get safe drinking water.

Active ingredient: Chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) – a well-established disinfectant in the water industry since the 1950s. Thanks to Xinix, now available for personal use.
