How can you purify water?

To purify water:

If you have questions about the quality of the water, purify it before drinking.

You can heat water to a rolling boil for 1 minute or use commercial purification tablets to purify the water.

You can also use regular household liquid chlorine bleach if it is pure 5.25% sodium hypochlorite. (Do not use perfumed bleach!)

To purify water, use these ratios of water and bleach:

  • 5 Gallons – 1/2 Teaspoon
  • 1 Gallon – 8 Drops
  • 1 Quart – 2 Drops
