A few drops of bleach serve to keep the water clear, clean and germ-free for years to come. http://dornob.com/solar-bottle-lamps-water-bleach-10000-liters-of-light/ [/quote] I wondered what happened to McGiver... Now does he have a nifty way to capture the water that leaks through the hole when it rains. [/quote] Yes rain... and will it work in freezing temps? [/quote] use a clear alcohol. As long as it stays sealed, at 80 proof it should stay liquid in freezing temps just fine. [/quote]
