Saving rain water
"FarmI" wrote
"cshenk" wrote How much per 32 gal. trash can would fill that bill? 1 ts per 5 gallons. Chlorine bleach evaporates quickly... "1 ts" won't do a whit and within a couple hours it'll be like it was never there at all. 1 TS per 5 gallons is the USDA recommended amount to render clear water safe for drinking. According to a couple of sites I looked at, it's a half a teaspoon per 5 gallons. But I doubt whether doubling the dose would be a problem and I wouldn't even bother to add any for such a small amount of water. I'd worry more about mosquitos breeding in it so would use it quick sticks. I got different answers too so picked one that made more sense to a storage tank. It breaks down fairly fast. Quick Sticks? Not familar with that. Fill me in? |

I try to post in a universal language North Americans can understand easily without resorting to google but sometimes the local lingo slips out (David H-S would know what I meant). It just means 'quickly'. |

It just means 'quickly'. Ah! No problem! Been a traveler most of my life (US Navy, 26 years, now retired and on second career). I can OZ speak cookery pretty well. I also know to not make reference to 'God, the Son, and the Holy Ghost' having sex as an exclaimation there. Tends to bring a bar there to a screetching halt in conversation. An oddly touchy group (grin). |

You didn't make it around a bunch of drunk Catholics did you? |
