5 drops of Clorox will purify 1 qt of water, filtering doesn't purify(although some filters do) boiling is the bests method of purifying. 15-20 minutes will work, & you CAN boil water in a plastic coke bottle.
No offense bro,and i for the most part know your correct,but for guys that are new to the movemnet can you supply a website,or the source of your Thread.

A quick note: Chlorine Bleach will not kill Cryptosporidia.
"Bleach: Ordinary household bleach (such as Clorox) in the US contains 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCL) and can be used to purify water if it contains no other active ingredients, scents, or colorings. Bleach is far from an ideal source due to its bulkiness (only 5% active ingredient), and the instability over time of the chlorine content in bleach. Chlorine loss is farther increased by agitation or exposure to air. One source claims chlorine loss from a 5% solution at 10% over 6 months if stored at 70° F. Nevertheless, this may be the only chemical means available to purify water, and it is far better than nothing. Normal dosage is 8 drops (0.4 ml) per gallon. Allow the treated water to sit for 30 min., and if there isn't a slight chlorine smell, retreat. Note: USP standard medicine droppers are designed to dispense 0.045-0.055 ml per drop. Use of other solvents or some chemicals can change this. The dropper can be calibrated against a graduated cylinder for greater accuracy."
This is a sample of the information available from the link below. I'd recommend copying the information to a Word document then printing out a copy or making a PDF for future use. Good reading, 21 pages long, though.
