There are several different brands of chlorine products that have been manufactured specifically for household water treatment. Each product should have its own instructions for correct dosing and contact time.
Liquid household bleach products are also commonly used to disinfect drinking water. The strength of the product must be known to calculate how much bleach is needed to disinfect a given amount of water. <!--See CAWST’s Technical Brief on Chlorine Disinfection of Drinking Water for information on how to determine the chlorine dose and contact time using household bleach.-->
The effectiveness of chlorine is affected by turbidity, organic matter, temperature and pH.
