Cloudy water should be filtered before adding bleach. This is best undertaken by placing the water through such things as a good coffee filter the storing in a clean container. Do not use containers that have had fuels, oils and other chemicals in previously as these will be nearly impossible to remove the contaminants from.

Do rainwater tanks get mold?
Any standing water can get areas that mold grows, along with bacteria. If not used for drinking, you could add a CAP (using the lid) of bleach for every 10 gallons. The bleach will help prevent organisms from growing. You should also empty the tank every few months and scrub it with dish detergent and water. Cleaning mold with bleach does not kill mold; it only turns green or black mold to a bleached white color but the mold remains unless it is scrubbed out.

How many ounces of bleach do you add to purify 55 gallons of water?
Since it takes about 1/2 an ounce for 30 gallons and 1 ounce for 60 gallons respectively, I would presume about 3/4 of an ounce for 55 Gallons of water...This is from a website I found to determine the same inquiry. There is some room for discussion, the total they give to start off with doesn't equal the end result they say is capable with 1 gallon of BLEACH. So...I would consult with someone at the Red Cross in your local area and they should be able to confirm these figures.
