Some of you expressed interest in having the flier posted to the water containers.
Posted in its entirety below:
Using Water Storage
Each person needs minimum 1 gallon of water per day. Additional water may be wanted for washing & sanitary purposes
14 gallons = two week supply for one person
NO BLEACH: Replace water every year
BLEACH: Use bleach as a disinfectant and store for 5 years. Make sure it stands at least 30 minutes before use. Use only plain bleach.
If the water is clear: 8 drops of bleach per gallon
½ teaspoon of bleach per 5 gallons
5 teaspoons of bleach per 50 gallons
If the water is cloudy: 16 drops of bleach per gallon
1 teaspoon of bleach per 5 gallons
10 teaspoons of bleach per 50 gallons
BOILING: DO NOT HEAT THESE CONTAINERS. If you choose to boil water, use another container and boil 5-10 minutes.
TO SANITIZE OR DISINFECT
To sanitize containers and utensils, mix 1 tablespoon Regular Clorox Bleach with one gallon of water. Wash items with soapy water. Rinse. Soak in disinfecting solution for 2 minutes. Drain and air dry.
Clean water is of utmost importance in a crisis. It prevents and minimizes life-threatening illness in times of trouble.
