To purify water using chlorinated tablets, follow these steps:
-
Fill a clean container with water from the source you want to purify.
-
Add the appropriate amount of chlorinated tablets to the water, according to the instructions on the packaging.
-
Stir the water gently to mix the tablets evenly.
-
Let the water sit for the recommended amount of time to allow the chlorine to disinfect the water. This can range from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the type and strength of the tablets.
-
Once the recommended time has passed, the water should be safe to drink. If the water still has a strong chlorine taste, you can let it sit for a few more hours or aerate it by pouring it back and forth between two clean containers.
-
Store the purified water in clean, sealed containers to prevent contamination.
It is important to use the correct amount of chlorinated tablets for the amount of water you are treating, and to let the water sit for the recommended amount of time. Otherwise, the water may not be fully disinfected and could still contain harmful bacteria and other contaminants.
