Hi Tom,

I'm curious if you can answer this...

What about water that is contaminated with toxic chemicals, including

specifically:

Oil+Corexit 9500

If ClO2 won't do it, what about the Berkey water filters?

It is raining oil in Louisiana, people. Florida will probably be in the

dead zone within a few months, if not less. If you know anyone living

there, tell them to get out now while they can.

This is an act of outright war by the money powers. They are tired of

waiting, and have initiated the trigger to bring about one world government.

Tom, Thank you so much. I will pass info to them.

Hello Agnes,Chlorine dioxide is an excellent water purifier.In an effort to keep the concentrations down to a safe level, you would probably want to use 15% sodium chlorite and 16.5% hydrochloric acid.In general, a 14000 gallon tank full of water would need about 1 liter of each. You would mix 1 liter of 15% sodium chlorite and 1 liter of 16.5% HCl, then add that to the water tank. That will give you 14000 gallons of water with about 1.75 PPM free chlorine dioxide in it. At these higher chemical concentrations the reaction is more aggressive so caution should be used when mixing, and avoid the fumes.There may need to be some adjustment to account for specific conditions, but these concentrations usually work very well at keeping things from growing in the tank.The advantage to using chlorine dioxide is that no chlorination by products are produced. The plants will be getting water that is purer than that

in which bleach was used to disinfect. In addition, as soon as the chlorine dioxide water is exposed to UV light, the chlorine dioxide will be driven off and the plants will be getting pure water.The down side is that sodium chlorite + HCl + the labor of mixing it and adding it end up being more expensive than simply pouring bleach into the water, and there is the added step of activation.Public water systems use chlorine because it is cheap.Industry uses chlorine dioxide because it is more effective. The pass the extra cost on to the customer.Tom>> Tom,> Could you answer a question for me. Our daughter and
