    I have just finished articles for both SAIL and Voyaging magazine on
    this very thing. Here is my quote:

    "Please note that water with bleach in this quantity is not for
    drinking, it is only for cleansing. You can use bleach for purifying
    questionable drinking water but at a much lower concentration,
    Specifically, use 1/2 teaspoon bleach per five gallons of water."
