DO add lemon or fresh citrus, herbs or electrolytes to your drinking water – all Pod approved. When adding small hydration packets or powders to your water, we recommend that you rinse the Pod more often. DO use hot (not boiling) water, GOpure is equally effective in cold or hot water and optimizes pH to 7.4 creating healthier joints, bones, heart and skin. DO use the Pod to keep water fresh in larger containers. Rule of thumb is one Pod per gallon. DO prep for emergencies with the Pod! Safely store large gallon jugs of water for up to six months for when Mother Earth acts up. (Let’s not make her angrier with wasteful single-use plastic water bottles that are also damaging to your health.) Remember, add one Pod to each gallon jug for optimal performance! DON’T use your Pod to purify river, ocean or any non-potable water DON’T worry about putting away your Pod after each use, remember, it goes wherever you go and can hang in your water containers around the clock!
