good post. never knew the proportions. we had a cistern for years in back yard. just poured in a bottle on occasion. great system huh? thanks jeffers
The clorinatio info was from the earlier poster.
I always use 8 drops of Clorox per gallon when backpacking, but I'd up it to 16 drops per gallon in a case where sanitation plants have failed. The clorox can take up to an hour to work in cold water, so I usually leave it overnight before drinking. During that time, a plastic container will absorb most, if not all of the taste. Much better than iodine or halozone, IMO.
