You’re welcome to your opinion, but many, MANY people keep bleach on hand as a way to purify water, not knowing it has a limited shelf life. Once you’re aware of that fact, it’s only natural to start looking for more reliable ways to make tainted water potable. Buying a pound of calcium hypochlorite and storing it properly is an easy way to do that, especially if you’re on a budget. I don’t think spending a couple of bucks is a radical wild-eyed survivalist thing to do, but that’s just me.
Thanks Cookie!
Most FReepers I believe are on the same side just some of them I want to either walk next to me or in front of me, never behind me. Cookie you can walk behind me anytime! ;-)
My opinion, I regret to say was awfully uninformed. I had not read the linked article, only the headline. I actually imagined mentally the process of making chlorine gas, which is a process I am little familiar with. The E. S. Smith process using brine and electrolysis.
I thought, gee, I don’t want a housewife doing that. So I overreacted in my ignorance.
The linked article is quite informative and helpful. Anyone with a well (like me) well find it helpful.
Dear Kartographer, please forgive my impudence.
