bearcub-If you could provide a URL debating the relative merits of hydrogen peroxide v. chlorine bleach as well as other treatments that would be helpful.

I recently viewed a website which discussed various methods of water treatment. The site had very little to say regarding the use of hydrogen peroxide other than:

>>>Hydrogen Peroxide can be used to purify water if nothing else is available. Studies have shown of 99 percent inactivation of poliovirus in 6 hr with 0.3 percent hydrogen peroxide and a 99% inactivation of rhinovirus with a 1.5% solution in 24 minutes. Hydrogen Peroxide is more effective against bacteria, though Fe+2 or Cu+2 needs to be present as a catalyst to get a reasonable concentration-time product.<<<

<there will be NO chlorine products used to purify any water in OUR household.>

Nor in mine either. I posted that for people in cities or suburbs (like my parents & sis) who may not have access to adequate water supply. It's a last ditch deal - primarly for washing dishes or personal hygiene.
