1. A water treatment system, the water treatment system comprising:
(i) a chemical disinfectant and a flocculating agent, to treat water; and
(ii) a deformable container comprising:
an opening adapted to receive the chemical disinfectant, the flocculating agent and water for treatment into the container;
an internal storage region adapted to hold an amount of water;
a partitionable region having a top and a base;
a tapering region connecting the internal storage region to the top of the partitionable region;
the partitionable region configured to be: (i) fluidly connected with the internal storage region and tapering region when receiving treated water into the partitionable region, and (ii) fluidly partitioned at the top from the internal storage region by twisting, tying, clamping, or by use of a locking slider or seal, when separating settled flocculant resulting from exposure of the flocculating agent to water in the container;
an outlet in fluid connection with the internal storage region and the outlet is adapted to remove treated water from the container; and
the opening is located at the base of the partitionable region and the opening is adapted to remove settled flocculant in the partitionable region when the partitionable region is fluidly partitioned from the internal storage region.
