I think the general consensus is to store the water without anything then add bleach when you use it. I'm sure someone will be along in a little while to link to the "official" water storage thread.
Directions to prep suspect water for drinking NOW: iirc, it's 12 to 16 drops of plain (non scented) household bleach per gallon, shake/stir, let sit for about 30 minutes. There should be a slight chlorine odor. If not, re-treat. |

I can't remember where I found it but I came up with 3ml and I use a free dropper I got from the local pharmacy.

See the following: http://www.nationalterroralert.com/safewater/ I use 1 teaspoon/5 gal which is more then they suggest. |
