How much bleach should you add to water from a shallow well?

Answer by  flori (239)

It is used a 1 and ½ cups for 2 gallons of water. But here you cannot measure the amount of water; a solution could be to approximate the quantity of it. Or put the water that is to be cleaned into a bucket and then add the bleach according to bucket's volume.

Four drops of bleach should be added to every gallon of water to disinfect it and make it drinkable. Make sure it is regular household bleach and make sure you are using a clean and sanitary container. You should let the water stand for at least an hour before you drink any of it.

If you are planning on drinking from the well, I would not add bleach. There are special drops you can add to make water drinkable.
