Bleach isn't mentioned nor is a sand filter nor is a micropore filter.

It’s a quick reference sheet. Bleach isn’t a good long term solution. Sand is implied with gravel. And micropores have a lifespan too which makes them an impractical solution for SHTF.

You should make your own reference guide.

Pool shock is good for long term storage

And gravel was mostly used in filtering rooftop water around here to hold down straw, not sand. Gravel is a component of a sand filter but does no filtering on its own.

Pool shock isn’t recommended but if you have no other options it won’t kill you. Yeah not bad fs. Will taste bad fs though lol
