Water Purification with MMS
Note: We frequently get asked the question: How to purify water with MMS/CD? Below is info from Jim in this subject…
MMS1 for water purification: To treat plain clear water that you feel should be purified to kill disease pathogens, such as tap water from your faucet, I suggest adding 8 drops of MMS1 (activated MMS—use 50% citric acid or 4% HCl) per gallon of water (or 4 liters/4 quarts). Count 30 seconds for the drops to activate then put the mixture into a gallon of water. Mix thoroughly, cover and wait for at least one hour before use. Keep in mind MMS1 does not kill the chlorine or the fluoride in your water but it will kill diseases. For smaller quantities of water, use less drops. For 1 quart (or liter) use 2 drops of MMS1.
Turpid (cloudy) water requires more MMS1. If you have a slight bit of turbidity, use 12 drops of activated MMS1 per gallon. A higher amount of turbidity requires higher amounts of MMS. Use 12 to 24 of MMS1 drops or even more drops for river water. This is something you will have to evaluate and do your best to get it right. In this case, it is always best to error on the side of too many drops than not enough. A slightly bad taste resulting from the MMS1 (if you have to go higher) will not hurt you.
MMS2 for water purification: Water can be purified using MMS2 equally as well as MMS1. (Like MMS1, MMS2 does not kill the chlorine or the fluoride in your water but it will kill diseases.) Both MMS1 and MMS2 are used throughout the world to purify water in public water systems. One #1 size capsule (see page 46 for capsule size) filled 1/2 full of calcium hypochlorite (MMS2) can be used to purify one gallon of normal appearing clear water. I have found that using gelatin or vegetable capsules is a very convenient method of measuring small amounts of powdered MMS2. Do not pack tightly or compress the MMS2 in the capsule, but loosely fill the capsule to 1/2 full. Open the capsule and pour the powder from the capsule into the water. Stir well until dissolved, cover and wait two hours before use.
Turbid (cloudy) water requires more MMS2. If you have a slight bit of turbidity, use a full #1 size capsule of MMS2. In the case of more turbidity, you can use up to 2 full size #1 capsules of MMS2 for a gallon of water. Use 1 to 3 capsules for river water. Again this is something you will have to evaluate. In this case of purifying questionable water, it is always best to error on the side of too much MMS2 rather than not enough. You may alter the taste of the water with 3 capsules, but that would be a lot better than getting sick from the water. Three capsules of MMS2 in a gallon of water will not hurt you even if it tastes a little bad.
