30% H2O2 is ridiculously expensive as well. $230.00 per gallon in
Canada. It is hell on wheels though for cleaning silicon pretty near to the atomic level when mixed 50/50 with concentrated sulfuric. Don't try this at home kids.

We use untreated well water and I could stand a bit of chlorine in an emergency. Usually we have some water supply interruption during Winter. It is reassuring to have a palatable water supply stored. Better safe than sorry.
