How to Use Calcium Hypochlorite as a Disinfectant
The ability to disinfect surfaces and water is a foundational item on every good prepper's list. You need to disinfect surfaces to prevent the spread of disease and to kill pathogens lurking in the water.
Initially, you may consider using regular liquid bleach to satisfy both of these needs until you learn that bleach only maintains potency for about 6 months. There is no way that you can store a year's supply of fresh liquid bleach.
The answer lies in powdered or granulated calcium hypochlorite. It will last for about 10 years if stored correctly and you can mix up a fresh batch whenever you need it.
In this video, we discuss what type of calcium hypochlorite to purchase, how to store it, and how to use it as a disinfectant.
