As effective at doing what?

It's about as effective as iodine, but neither of them will kill cryptosporidium like chlorine dioxide will. Plenty of people just use iodine, so you'll probably be fine, though. Wash your hands, don't shit where you eat, etc.

The long term health effects of ingestion have not been thoroughly scrutinized. It does not destroy cryptosporidium either. It's acceptable in emergencies.

You're just chlorinating the water, same as the water company does. There's no mystery about the health effects.

Chorine Dioxide is what is used in municipal water sanitation. Household bleach is sodium hypochlorite

Not that guy, and can't give a source on that, but when I went to Haiti in January and installed water tanks/purifiers at a few school/churches the systems worked by using bleach. Shit tasted like pool water, but it's better than drinking dirty water.

Chlorination might be done with elemental chlorine, hypochlorite, chloramine, or chlorine dioxide. Chlorine dioxide is a distinct chemical, with distinct effects, and its allowable levels in drinking water are considerably lower than with chlorine.

I carry a small bottle of iodine or poviodine in my medkit when out and have a sticker on it with # of drops per volume water written down for sterilizing water in an emergency. It serves 2 purposes that way.

I would think because you only need salt and electricity, only a watch battery. I kinda want one, but I do fine with my filters.

Yeah.... Though its also a good idea to aerate it by transferring it back and forth a few times to a different vessel AFTER the bleach has had enough time to kill off any virus' or bacteria.

If you're super worried, you can also store it in a clear bottle, out in the sunlight for a few hours. The UV rays will kill off whatever the bleach didnt.

I used to deliver water to people not on the water system and if we drafted from a nearby creek we put 1 gallon of bleach per 1000 gallons of water.
