Re: [RC] water sources and using bleach-ANY water source - Sky Ranch
Yep, bleach at a 1/10 concentration works
perfectly to disinfect, as far as bacteria, but it won't clean out toxins in the
water, such as gasoline or oil. And it isn't going to make it
'nice, nice.'
Would you feel comfortable drinking
water out of the New Orleans streets, for example, where dead animals and other
organic matter were floating, and with an oil slick floating on top? Would
you be "OK" with boiling that water and drinking it?
And, adding bleach to salt water, say, from the
beach at Biloxi or Gulfport, MS, doesn't do anything about the salt - aka NaCl
-- gee, that's an electrolyte! Maybe the people in the disaster zone can
sell us electrolytes...
Water out of the tap is a far cry from what these
people are wading around in. It isn't "clear," it isn't
"nice," and you wouldn't want to drink it.
