Re: Drinking Water from watertanks

I agree and if people are testing to 1PPM or even close, that’s a small amount.
However I hear occasionally of people that toss in a 1/4 cup when they fill up, and that likely way over 1 PPM....

Re: Drinking Water from watertanks

Of course not, the chlorine wouldn’t carry over from one tank to the next, refill with non chlorinated water, and free chlorine drops a lot.
However most water supplies at least in the US are...

Re: Drinking Water from watertanks

I believe chlorine to be similar to UV light, it over time ruins anything, I wouldn’t be surprised to see it eat thru the container it comes in.
It’s I believe an extremely strong oxidizer, and...

Drinking Water from watertanks

Sailorboy,
If you wouldn’t mind, it may help if you stated your background and why it is that you have an opinion on water disinfection.
If you don’t want to due to privacy, I...

Drinking Water from watertanks

Sure, but it is like using a sledge hammer to swat flies, yes, the fly is dead, but it’s hard on the furniture.
Or in my case the aluminum tanks.

Re: Drinking Water from watertanks

As a kid I loved that stuff, filter pure ammonia though it and when it dries it’s a pressure sensitive explosive.
Put a crystal or two in a glycerine “pill” with corn starch and you have a snap cap...

Re: Drinking Water from watertanks

Re: Drinking Water from watertanks

Drinking Water from watertanks

I’m five years I have never shocked our water, or ever added any chlorine.

Drinking Water from watertanks

The issue of a filter, filtering out biologicals, and bacteria or other nasties growing on that is real.
