Is regular bleach still available?

Gail H

It looks like a hurricane/ tropical storm is coming our way. I would like to store some (more) water in case we lose power, but I couldn't find any regular bleach to use in the water. All of the bleach in the stores seems to be a concentrated type that also contains lye. I had previously found an off brand at our neighborhood hardware store, but they seem to be out. The grocery store had loads of scented, concentrated bleach + lye, but that won't do.

I thought i answered this thread three times but the posts are not here. So I'll try again.

You can get chlorine pellets for water purification.

you can also get filtration tubes for water purification.

I'd post links but that might be why the last posts did not work.

@Ferg Thank you for your help. I'll look for the tablets.

By the way, I had a post disappear into moderation once when it had links. It never reappeared and it hasn't happened again. The quirks of algorithms apparently.

here's a source, I'm sure there are others:

there are also water purification tubes you can get... they filter out the yuk stuff. SciPlus has them at the moment - here's what I'm talking about, maybe they have them other places as well:

Well, I can bleach here, oddly I have a terrible time getting ammonia. I use it in my husbands wash to cut the grease. If you have to get it online I would go with the tablets. Or get a filter.
