Is it safe to store bleach for an emergency storage pack to dispense few drops to water or for camping to add drops to dish washing water?

From a google search, it appears as if LDPE is used for bleach storage in other applications, so I would think being of the same material, it wouldn't be an issue.

I bought mine for hurricaine use also. I am a physician. The water bob would be reuseable from a medical point of view. Also use your water heater to store drinking water not for washing. Use standard 5 gallon buckets with a hole cut into the top for chamber pots. Spray 90% EtOH is good for disinfection of hands and utencils. No refrigeration is required for the yogurt cups and W-lm-rt Tropical Trail mix which is what I ate during a 2 week huricaine power outage.

Yes you can use bleach as long as you rinse the sprayer very well after use.

I use non-chlorine bleach and it has been fine, I do not think bleach is recommended.

The vials are sealed tightly when you close them. Perhaps you could store the kit (it is very compact) in a gallon ziplock bag just to be safe.

Sorry this is in our boat where it is stored. I used it on our pontoon before we stored it here in Northern Michigan. I can only tell you that is works fantastic. I did not have a problem with the bleach because we were outside, but it definitely has an "bleach" smell. Can you not get the ingredients off the internet. Look product up from manufacturer, you will get ingredients. If you are going to use this inside, open windows and use a small amount. This product works, but it can affect your lungs and skin, if you are sensitive or inhale it because you use too much at one time. Best I got.

If your water is already treated by the source (city), then you only need to rinse out the container with a chlorine solution (household bleach will work if it does not have soap added). Then add the treated water. If not already treated, you should add about 1/8 teaspoon of bleach per one gallon of water into the container. Here's a link to some advice on long term water storage:https://www.usaemergencysupply.com/information_center/emergency_water_storage.htm#.U_zX_ZDws5s Hope this helps.

I would not use bleach, as it is very toxic. The laundry pure system helps to eliminate all the toxic chemicals from absorbing into your clothes, which ultimately absorbs into your skin, causing metabolic effects in the body. I would recommend using amway, or norwex laundry products with it. I personally prefer amway.

No. It's basically an acid in solution. As long as you keep it sealed it will be fine. I keep a mild solution it a spray bottle for quick sanitation and have never had a problem. It's amazing stuff.

As long as it is kept in a dry place, there should not be any problem. Just be sure to close the container immediately after using.

there are pretty informative youtube videos on how to use chlorine bleach that tell you how to use the right amount based on how much is already in your water supply. this is a pretty cost effective approach for large scale storage. i would not use a previously used drum unless i knew exactly what had been in it.

Greetings. The water is stored in the bag and the mouth/cap area is large enough to easily drain all the water from the bag. I have stored my bag for several years with no problem. It would be excellent for camping occasionally. It comes with a blue dye that you drop one drip in if you wonder if it is working and it satisfies all my concerns. Once the blue dye color is gone I know it has purified the water. I have friends in Africa who have used it over 500 times and I have tested it with blue dye drop and everything is working well! It has a mesh in it so the only suggestion I have is that you don't want to crush it or fold it. It's fantastic and I've packed it back and forth from Africa as well as used it in the states!

We use a mild solution of bleach and water for an occasional rinse. I just take the cap off, hang and let dry, before its stored for the season. It's easy.

the water packs should be ok if you keep them out of direct sunlight and reasonably protected from damage i.e canvas day pack etc. loose under your seat or in your glove box is probably not a good idea. keep in mind if these packs get hot enough or freeze they will burst. as with any survival food stuffs keep it updated. if they are outdated don't toss them use them for rehydration of your emergency food when you cook. hope this helps. vic

It can be used at home. I use it for camping to sanitize dishes. It doesn't have the drawbacks of using bleach to sanitize. Especially when young cub and boy scouts are using it under supervision.

The water for the bidet does not come from the tank, so bleach tablets should be ok.

You can use bleach safely in the bowl. You don't need to; regular toilet cleaners work fine.
