    Aquamira works together. Part B activates the chlorine dioxide and that is why the premix is so necessary. You need to activate the chlorine dioxide or else there is no point in treating the water

    Exactly. The pH is too high to really work as intended. Part B mixes, lowers the pH so the chlorine dioxide can do its job.

    And save the mixing cap from your first set so you have two. Lets you mix two batches at the same time and just in case you loose one.

    If you were only going to take Part A then don't take either & just take an eyedropper of Bleach then drink as much real water in town & wherever you can to keep your system flushed.
