CDS for water storage

I'm looking to store drinking water in case of emergency and wondering how much CDS (3000ppm) I should add per gallon.

They say 1 ml of CDS = 1 drop MMS1. Maybe the following will help if you use that as a guide, but maybe others can comment. Can't remember where I got the following from:

MMS1 for water purification
To treat plain clear water that you feel should be purified to kill disease pathogens, such as tap water, we suggest adding 8 drops of activated MMS per gallon of water (or 4 liters/4 quarts). (Count 30 seconds for the drops to activate then put the mixture into a gallon of water).

Mix thoroughly, cover and wait for at least one hour before use. Keep in mind MMS does not remove the chlorine or the fluoride in your water but it will destroy pathogens and diseases.

For 1 quart (or litre) use 2 drops of activated MMS.

Turbid (cloudy) water requires more MMS. If you have a slight bit of turbidity, use 12 drops of activated MMS per gallon. A higher amount of turbidity requires higher amounts of MMS. Use 12 to 24 of activated MMS drops or even more drops, for river water. This is something you will have to evaluate and do your best to get it right. In this case, it is always best to error on the side of too many drops than not enough. A slightly bad taste resulting from the MMS (if you have to go higher) will not hurt you!

Thanks,  this was the information I was looking for.   The water is from my well and chlorine/fluoride free.   It is probably safe to store without treatment, but I figured it was worth taking the extra step.

Hello bushkill, your question about purifying water for storage. I guess you also know of devices for sale online, that can be used to purify water.
At home, and while hiking, spending time in nature, with sources of water from streams, lakes, and ponds.
I've found Jim Humble's work by watching an interview with him on Project Avalon with Bill Ryan in 2011.
Since that year I've 2 bottles in my home, of MMS, sold by Jim Humble at that time.
Lately, since the start of the pandemic, I've ordered 2 new bottles of Chlorine Dioxide, and keep them well stored, just in case I need it,
or can offer it to someone who needs it and welcomes it.
I'm in awe with the versatility of this remedy, and the costs are so very little. It's a MIRACLE solution in the truest sense, isn't it?
At any rate, now that more instructors, doctors, and researchers, begin to show up online, like Andreas Kalcker, with the interest
in MMS rising, due to the pandemic, I've started more research on the use of MMS, and ways of how it's used nowadays.
I've found this company: 
Multi Mineral Support II Tablets (MMSTWO 100's) - makes Hypochlorous Acid (mmstabs.com)
Could you tell me if this product is useful for water purification as well as remedial use?
I hope others here are reading this also, and give their opinion, or share their experience with this product.
Tablets are useful in the sense that, when stored well, they never go out of date, at least, that's my impression.
It's easy to travel with, and easy to apply, when quick action is called for. Like taking a glass of water and add a tablet. Or two.
Anyway, I'll bump my question here, and maybe in another page here. Thank you in advance for a response!

Thanks for your response Devon.   I'm aware of other methods, but since I have a fresh batch of CDS, that is what first came to mind.   I would rather treat the water now than have to treat it with tablets or other method when in an emergency.   Who knows what the future may bring and if I will even be around at the time it is needed.  I want my family not to worry about if the water needs treatment before using.   I actually decided to go with bubbling ozone through the water before closing it up.

Yesterday, I worked on my phone, continuing our conversation about the purification of drinking water, etc.
A part of what I meant to say didn't come through. This is what I meant to bring to your attention, Bushkill
"I've found this company: Multi Mineral Support II Tablets (MMSTWO 100's) - makes Hypochlorous Acid (mmstabs.com)
"Could you tell me if this product is useful for water purification as well as remedial use?"
I assume, after reading your responses, that creating safe drinking water for you and your family is a priority.
Others may read my inquiry, and respond in due time. Good luck with that fresh batch of CDC 
Checking the well water for iron or other metal residues is valuable too. By the taste of it, you will know if iron is in the well water.
Also, the colour can be an indication of what components your well water contains.

There's also a system where lava-rock in small pieces, with sand, explained in this link 
DIY Water Filter: How To Filter Water With Sand, Gravel, Charcoal | SL (survivallife.com)
I've seen an entire water filter system on a bio-dynamic farm, in a field where watercress was farmed.
Several "beds" that were first dug out to a depth of a few feet, filled with layers of lava-rock, gravel, and maybe coarse and fine sand both.
An ingenious system under these beds transported the filtered water to the watercress beds. Watercress grows in water, as the name suggests.
I don't remember all the ins and outs, this was in the early 90's.

Forgive me for being a teacher, I may have told you details you're already quite familiar with.
I wish I had a well with good drinking water. For now, I use Brita filters, but these have gone up in price much!
 I wish you the best of luck, making sure you and your family enjoy safe and pleasant-tasting drinking water!

Hello bushkill. My comment contains inquries. Not recommendations. It's possible that I addressed too many subjects, so that this part of my comment didn't catch your attention: 

Hi Devon, Sorry about that.   I have no knowledge of the tablets you enquired about.   I did visit the website and although the claims look promising I found the site very confusing.   I always want to be able to get an idea of price point for treatment and I did not see any information on dosage or that 1 tablet is equivalent to ?? drops MMS, ......   The way they sell multi-pack options with different amount of tablets in packs of different options seems weird.    We often pay extra for convenience which is one's choice,  but I also worry about what else we are getting with products.   When I make CDS myself I feel much more comfortable with the product than worrying about what other fillers and such have been added.   Best of luck and keep us update if you learn more.  May be a great product, I don't know.

Hello Bushkill, that's okay,all good. This morning I corrected my comment of yesterday, for there was something missing, due to fiddling on my smartphone. Better use the laptop. Since I'm new to all the terms and variations of remedies and substances related to MMS, the term CDS is unknown to me. What is it made of and how do you prepare it? I know that one of the members here has sent me a list with those terms made of capital letters. short for......  drives me mad, ha! I've tried to find it in my forest of files, and found information about tablets of a Scottish firm. Just for your information I've included it in the attachment. It's a good thing that I stumbled on it, for I remember that this information feels more like using common sense, than this producer:  Multi Mineral Support II Tablets (MMSTWO 100's) 
I'll keep you posted, when I've made a choice based on tablets. At least, for travelling in remote areas, tablets may be useful to purify water for cooking etc.
After all I've got the fluid version of MMS in two small glassbottles. They last forever (almost)
