I was wondering what the differences were in using Chlorine v.
Iodine for water purification.

I found this article on water purification.

http://www.princeton.edu/~oa/manual/water.shtml

To Quote:

"Iodine has been shown to be more effect than chlorine-based treatments in inactivating Giardia cysts."

Just thought I'd post this in case anyone was interested as I was.
 
+1 on Iodine. Bleach is nasty by itself - and a capful cleans something like 400 gallons!

I simply use Iodine drops and it is all good.
