I have heard on this list that Iodine is better than Chlorine for purifying water in our tanks. Something about the chlorine loosing effectiveness over time.
Does anyone know anything about this?

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.

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?
