Many do think of bleach, but from a chemical perspective it is not even close. Salt is sodium chloride. We know its not bleach.
Chlorine Dioxide is made from mixing an acid with 22.4% sodium chlorite ( not chloride ). I use 4% HCL ( Hydrochloric Acid ). The acid is very mild. I make it to 3000ppm in distilled water, the sodium chlorite and HCL never touch the water, they simply create Chlorine Dioxide gas which permeates the water. Water can only hold 3000ppm of the gas and only below 57F and in the absence if UV light, so it must be in a dark bottle as well.
I then refrigerate it as it gases off above 57F. I take 20ml of this charge water to 1 litre of water. Very diluted.
You have to know what you are doing, but it is safe. Chlorine Dioxide has replaced chlorine in municipal water treatment plants. It also is used to sterilize medical instruments, and foods - raw meats and fresh veggies/fruits.
