Could you use SteriPen w/ this product to sterilize the water. I was thinking of filling with contaminated water and then sterilizing with SteriPen.

I have not used the SteriPen, so I am not sure of the process. However, If it involves tipping or pouring I would say no. It can be awkward to work with, because it is essentially a very thick collapsible plastic bag. So as you tip, it bends and collapses and such, unless you hold it just right.

This is an active bacteria and may be killed if added to, or even sprayed over. Call the manufacturer, but I don't know why you would compound a product that works well by itself. I mixed it with hot pepper juice (critter control), and even wondered if the habenaro pepper juice might kill the bacteria.

I have put it in my dishwasher a few times and it has held up. I haven't put it in a sterilizer though. I would assume yes.

I'm not an expert and I don't know how you would sterilize it. Boiling water would be effective, but it might melt. If I need to sterilize something, I usually use a chemical (like Clorox) and then rinse completely - I would suppose you could use sterilized water when you rinse it. We use ours for orange juice, mostly.

Ask The manufacturer, not me. How should I know. I bought the bottle to be on standby in case of sudden radiation threat.it is natural to assume that it does everything.i would suspect that if radiation was present, that would take care of anything that was living . I have been a satisfied for years using Seychelle's water filter bottles for years. The water sure tastes better and they guarantee that the water filtered is 99.9% pure.

Yes, so far I've had no issues in keeping it sterilized with bleach water. I love love love this thing. Best thing I could have done for my sinuses.

Here on Amazon, there are ozone-based sterilizing machines for fresh produce. The way they work is to run the ozone through water that the produce is sitting in, and it essentially washes the produce. One of these machines, the Tersano, says that an added benefit is that you can save the sanitized water in a spray bottle and use it for cleaning. So I think you can leave the water in the SoClean and just refill whatever amount is needed. That's what I've been doing.

Sure. I would just be careful as the uv sterilizer portion of this is what was faulty and killed my fish.

No, I don't think so. The product packaging says "Always use clean water. Do not use any other type of liquid or aromatic oil".

This was a gift, and they did not use glass bottles for feeding. I would say Yes.you could use to sterilize glass (probably safer than stove.boiling and more thinner savings. Good luck and I hope this helped.

I would not do that. Not sure how this stuff affects ph etc... Use aquarium specific materials.

I would just sterilize after the initial purchase. You really don't need to sterilize bottles/parts each time anymore. That is an old recommendation from when water supplies weren't as safe. I do sterilize my bottles/parts once in a while still but really just hot soapy water or a run through the dishwasher is sufficient. Plus if you think about it- When you sterilize an item you also need to sterilize the tongs used to pick it up, the counter or drying rack you sit it on, the cupboard which it then goes into, and any other surface it is likely to touch by the time it's used for a feeding... You are never going to be able to keep your bottles sterile. I would just sterilize after the initial purchase. You really don't need to sterilize bottles/parts each time anymore.

Hi Mary, personally I am on city water and use my filter for final polishing and not primary filtering. I would suggest you have your well water analyzed then contact Aquasana's technical support and forward them your lab results and let them tell you if their filter system is capable of purifying your water to potable standards. Please be absolutely aware of chemical toxins and biological pathogens that your lab will be able to identify. On a final note depending on you geographical location, we need to also be concerned about radiological contamination. To some extent there is a filter that is capable of addressing that problem too. If need be, ask me about it and I will look it up for you. Hope this response is of some use.

You'll have to rinse with soap and water first to remove any residue. Then put them in the sterilizer. Make sure to check the bottom of the sterilizer after each use as a cleaning may be necessary if excess residue collects at the bottom.

You must dilute it with water. This stuff is no joke. It is very strong. I diluted mine with water and without a mask I sprayed my plants. I got very sick that night. You don't want this stuff getting into your water system. It is VERY STRONG STUFF. BEST I EVER USED.

I was worried about sterilizing this also when I bought it. However my pediatrician says that as long as you rinse it with warm water right after you are done using it then wash it with warm soapy water you never have to sterilize. He says the same thing about bottles. That works for us because I wash it with hot soapy water as soon as it is empty so I can fill it up again. Don't know if you are comfortable with that advice but I am passing it on. I do throw it in the dishwasher once in a blue moon.

We sterilize with the microwave. You put a little bit of water in the bottom and then nuke it on high for 4 minutes. Seems to be ok with that.
