Water Storage

When I saw this, I got very excited! Many ways of storing water exist. This way may help with the large 55 gallon barrels! The idea comes from Wendy DeWitt and is found on her blog http://everythingunderthesunblog.blogspot.com/. For instructions that are a little easier to understand, click here http://www.theideadoor.com/Preparedness/storing_water.htm#Storing_Water_Barrels

To treat water in a 55 gallon drum, use 1/8 teaspoon Chlorine crystals, the kind used for hot tubs. Add them to the water. Don't add the water to the Chlorine crystals because it creates a poisonous gas! Chlorine crystals never expire, unlike liquid chlorine which is only good for 6 months after manufacturing!
