Good info on disinfecting water for cheap!!!

[4gunfun]

Treat up to 10,000 gallons of water for $3 with pool shock (Calcium Hypochlorite) and stores easy for long periods. Go to Wal Mart and buy a bag or two for your bob. http://www.survivaltopics.com/surviv...sinfect-water/

Good info-bleach degrades especially after opening.

I have this stuff for our fish tank that dechlorinizes and neutralizes heavy metals for fish. Would it be something to bleach your water, then de-bleach it and neutralize the heavy metals? It is just store bought Aqua safe. After cleaning stuff with bleach, I put some on my hands to get rid of the bleach smell. Works pretty well I think.

I'd get some product info and make sure it's safe for human ingesting. Just in case ya know.

I have a case put away. Bought it on year end closeout a few years back. It has other uses as well. Actually I have I think 10 bags left and mine is the 47% stuff so 1 tsp per gallon to make bleach. Way cheaper than buying it.

Anyone ever heard of the AquaSafe straw? It is supposed to be good for 500 liters of water. http://www.aquasafestraw.com/

The chlorine dissipates pretty fast, don't think you need to worry about treating it again. Just need to filter it if it's muddy. The straw is kinda cool but $50 for storing?

I didn't catch the $50 for storing part. What does that mean? I thought it was only $39.99.

Here's the MSDS...

"Corrosive to the eyes, skin, respiratory and digestive tracts." Don't know how dilute it would need to be to be safe but I'm not sure I would want to ingest it anyway.
