how to remove bleaching powder from water - #13915

Ira

I am really stressing out right now because I accidentally spilled a ton of bleaching powder into my home's water tank while cleaning. I thought I was being careful, but now I'm super worried about my family drinking that water! It was a good amount of bleaching powder and I just don't know how to remove bleaching powder from water effectively, you know? I've tried flushing the tank with fresh water, but my neighbor said that might not be enough to get rid of it completely. Honestly, I started Googling how to remove bleaching powder from water and all I found were like generic tips that didn’t feel right for this situation. Can anyone share practical tips or tricks on how to remove bleaching powder from water safely? Do I need to do something special with the pipes as well? It feels like a lot. My kids keep asking about water and I don’t wanna freak them out, but I’m really not sure we can just drink it like that. What about boiling the water?? Does that help with how to remove bleaching powder from water? Or should I just be calling a professional? Just feeling kinda lost and really need some advice here!
