Problem is too much sodium chloride [sea water] has contaminanted the wells. Now they're purifying sea water with salt water? Wow! Ode At 11:00 AM 1/6/2005 +0900, you wrote: I read yesterday that 200,000 liters of sodium chloride have been distributed in Indonesia; this is enough to purify

Sodium hypochlorite solution has been used to disinfect water for a long time. Only fairly recently has sodium chlorite (as distinct from sodium chloride) been seen as good or better than sodium hypochlorite. Maybe the news media got the chemical nomenclature mixed up. Matthew

If I were in the Tsunami-infected zone, I would prefer the Katadin water sterilizer/filter. It is based on a silver-bearing artificial ceramic filter. I think it pre-dates the FDA and is therefore grand-fathered for importation from Switerland, where it was invented many years ago. It either kills

Hi, Himagain, Three grams of iodine crystals might treat thousands of quarts of water, but it might not last for decades. Iodine crystals will again vanish by sublimation. The Remington treatise recommends a tincture, which I think is safer than the crystals. Too much iodine is unsafe, and a
