Regular Bleach To Disinfect Water For Drinking
To disinfect water for drinking, you can use ‘Regular’ household bleach.
This is a ~1 to ~2 ppm chlorine mixture using today’s concentrated 8.25% REGULAR bleach.

NOTE: The following numbers are ’rounded’ to the nearest ‘drop’
NOTE: You’re better off to have used extra ‘drops’ than not enough 😉

1 Quart water, 1 drop bleach
1 Gallon water, 5 drops bleach
5 Gallons water, 3/8 teaspoon bleach (or three 1/8th teaspoons)
10 Gallons water, 3/4 teaspoon bleach
50 Gallons water, 3.5 teaspoons bleach

I would only add, let it air out, I haven't tried it, but could guess my supersenseative nose would be smelling any bleach, but that beats the alternative.

That's a more comprehensive chart than the one I have taped to the wall in our "pantry".
Thanks Hawg.
