How to Purify Drinking Water...
How to Purify Drinking Water - from the makers of Clorox Bleach
Boiling Method:
Boiling is the preferred way to purify water. Bring water to a rolling boil for
3-5 minutes, keeping in mind that some water will evaporate. Let the water
cool before drinking.
Boiled water will taste better if you put oxygen back into it by pouring the water back and forth between two
clean containers. This will also improve the taste of stored water.
Bleach Method:
When boiling water is not possible, filter water, letting particles settle out. Pour off clear water.
Add regular household liquid bleach (such as Ultra Clorox Regular bleach -- not scented or
colorsafe), as follows:
4 drops regular liquid bleach per quart of water
16 drops regular liquid bleach per gallon of water
1 teaspoon regular liquid bleach per 5 gallons of water
Mix well; wait 30 minutes. Water should have a slight bleach odor. If not, repeat and wait 15 more
minutes.
What if your life was disrupted by a natural disaster, food or water
supply contamination, or any other type of emergency?
