Summary

Balance "Use less bleach to purify more water"

Purpose of change

For the new recipe in #88030 the bleach:water ratio is 1:2500, which is still way too concentrated for producing potable water.

Describe the solution

Clorox discontinued manufacturing of 6% concentration bleach years ago, so all bleach in the game should be assumed to be 8.25% bleach.

There are over 768 teaspoons in a gallon.

The EPA says to use 1/4 teaspoon of 8.25% bleach on 4 gallons of water.

So set a bleach:water ratio of 1:12000.

Also while here, make it so people don't inexplicably leave bleach jugs with only 1 or 2 mL left in them lying around.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Testing

Additional context

A 1:2500 ratio is still too concentrated. It needs to be
near 5x that much, a 1:12000 ratio.
no one is gonna keep a bleach jug around with 1 ml left in it.
revert the smallest possible amount left to the same it was
before the bleach changes.
