How many gallons of water can be purified by a pound of salt?
The amount of water that can be purified by a pound of salt depends upon the turbidity of the water. The more dirt and other particles in the water, the more chlorine is needed to make the water safe. With water that does not have a lot of particles in it, a pound of salt can potentially disinfect from 10,000 gallons up to 70,000 gallons of water.
