There are likely a lot of places where homemade bleach is, can be very useful.. More so than household bleach maybe..
However for drinking water, I'm going to error on the side of household bleach only as a small error in making homemade could cause problems.. I think it would be a good idea to practice making it and testing it to feel safe using it in many applications.
We do have 70 something % pool shock crystals on hand, but no experience yet to have built a comfort level in use..
Keep safe..

From what I've read boiling your water or using a Life Straw to filter it is MUCH safer than using homemade bleach to purify it. Pool shock comes in several concentrations depending on brand, and a small mistake could lead to catastrophic results when consumed.

A one pound bag of pool chlorine powder will make about 2500 gallons of reasonably strong disinfectant. One bag treats 10k gallons to sterilize a pool... do the math.
$10 worth of HTH will make a lot of basic sanitizer.
