Water Tips:
Boiling is the preferred way to purify water. Let water fully boil 1
minute. Cool before drinking.
If unable to boil, use pure chlorine bleach. Add ¼ teaspoon (1.25 ml)
or 16 drops to each gallon. Shake or stir, then let stand 30 minutes.
A slight chlorine taste and smell is normal. (Water heaters are a
source for water.)
