The half-life is the time that it will take for half of the atoms in a sample of a radioactive isotope to decay into another element or isotope. This is a constant property of the isotope and does not depend on the sample size.
In ordinary water, exactly 0 atoms as Tritium decays too rapidly (halflife 12.26 years) for any that was on earth when it formed (billions of years ago) to remain. In contaminated water, either deliberately or accidentally, it would depend on how much contaminate was added and the tritium concentration in it. Tritium can only be manufactured somewhere there is a high neutron flux (e.g., nuclear reactor or bomb, a star).
To clean tritium gun sights, use a soft cloth or brush to remove any dirt or grime. Avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the tritium inserts. If the tritium sights are still dim after cleaning, they may need to be replaced as the tritium gas has a limited lifespan.
Tritium. What did you think it was?
Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen, so it is colorless.
Hydrogen has three isotopes: protium (1H), deuterium (2H), and tritium (3H). Protium is the most abundant and consists of one proton and one electron. Deuterium contains one proton, one neutron, and one electron. Tritium has one proton, two neutrons, and one electron.

The oxide of tritium is called tritium oxide or sometimes referred to as tritiated water. It is a radioactive form of water where one or more of the hydrogen atoms in water has been replaced by tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen.
Tritium, n., A radioactive isotope of hydrogen having an atomic mass of 3.017 and a nucleus composed of 1 proton and 2 neutrons. Its halflife is 12.26 years and it decays by beta decay to Helium-3. Tritium is normally only produced synthetically on earth by placing sealed pellets of Lithium in the neutron flux of a nuclear reactor.
Tritium is not the most stable isotope known.
Tritium Dont Eat Anything? They Are Type Of Watches.... :)
Yes.
Tritium decay to helium-3.
