The American Red Cross suggests using 16 drops of chlorine bleach (5.25% - 6%
sodium hypochlorite) per gallon of water. You should be able to smell the
chlorine in the treated water.

Subject: [Liveaboard] Replacement for "Chem Tabs" water treatment?
I believe that "Chem Tabs" (chlorine tablets for fresh water tanks) were
recently pulled from the market here in the USA. I used to put in 2 tablets
for each 30-gallon water tank when I was filling them in order to keep any
bacteria or growth from occurring inside the tanks.
What are people using (if anything) to treat their fresh water tanks?
Thanks in advance,
