Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is poisonous in high concentrations, and is not typically used for disinfecting drinking water. It is used in low concentrations for iron and manganese oxidation as well as total organic carbon (TOC) reduction.
High concentrations of KMnO4 result in pink colored water.
