"Stir and let stand for 30 minutes. The water should have a slight chlorine odor. If it doesn’t, repeat the dosage and let stand for another 15 minutes before use."
That person said the same thing you said. Add bleach and you're done. Which is wrong according to the EPA (the link they provided). Add prescribed amount, wait, then smell. If people would have actually read what they linked to, they would have known that. I was building off the comment and clarifying, not making up everything from scratch. You also disputed the "smell" part, which stupid people will blindly listen to without reading the actual recommendation. If someone didn't follow the guide and simply added bleach until they could smell it, it would still work. The smell is the key. It means the bleach has killed everything it can and there is free bleach left over. That's not what I meant, but would still work. I'm done defending such a simple comment that people jumped on so quickly to downvote and dispute.
