Most water utilities use chlorine to disinfect the water supply and kill off any bacteria. The best way to reduce the chlorine level in tap water is to use an activated carbon filter. Most carbon filters will reduce 90% or more of the chlorine in tap water and will improve the taste and quality of the water as well.

A lot of restaurants use activated carbon water filters for their beverage equipment to improve the taste of their drinks. These filters can also reduce scale build up to protect soda fountains and other expensive beverage equipment from the harmful effects of hard water.

Everpure manufactures a popular line of commercial grade inline filters for restaurants or home use. The filters are a little pricey, but you can usually buy them online to save yourself a bit of cash. The QL2-OW200L filter system linked below reduces chlorine, lead, and scale build up making it an ideal choice for restaurants and other dining establishments.

Overnight is regarded as normal for a bucket full, but most of the chlorine will be gone in a couple of hours particularly if the water has been sprayed/splashed into the container.

You would probably have to do the survivalist boil of water. Where you place some form of tent over the boiling pot and catch the run off.

I am storing 2 liter bottles of water with 3 drops of bleach. How long do I have to boil it to make it drinkable again.?

You don't have to boil it because of the chlorine . You should use 4 drops per quart of water , or 8 drops per 2 liter bottle. Chlorine OR boiling. Not both. Boil (roiling rapid boil) for 1 minute (3 minutes if over 1 mile altitude). Chlorine isn't a health hazard at this concentration (I believe it breaks down into a salt long term), but if you are concerned, you can allow it to "air out" before drinking.

What temp. to boil an egg?

Boiling an egg takes a while. Once the water starts to boil and the eggs are inside the boiling water, let the eggs boil for about 5 to 10 minutes. Careful, if they boil for too long, they might crack. Alternatively, bring the eggs and water to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover, and let sit for 25 minutes. Then, dump the water and rinse with cold water. Alternatively, buy an egg timer--there is a nifty one that is red plastic that turns purple when the eggs are done.


How long do you boil hot bogs?

Remove them a minute after the water reaches a boil, if you had them in the pot the whole time. Hot dogs are already cooked. Putting hot dogs in boiling water simply heats them up. If you like them grilled, that's different, but they are still already cooked.
