Look on the product's instructions to find its dose rate for so-many 1000 gallons (or similar) per 1ppm, calculate from that and add according to the concentration necessary to raise the Cl level from that which you've tested it at, to about3ppm. ,
Yes you can put Chlorine in a small pool. Try to keep the level about 2 ppm or you will damage the pool liner. Jon halcyonrx.com
If you are raising your chlorine because it is testing low then try 4 cups per 10,000 gallons. If you are superchlorinating your pool then try a gallon per 10K
how much chlorine do I put for a 1,718 gallon pool
Answer#1Regular strength chlorine bleach is approximately 94.75% water by weight.
I do. Use half as much. Pool chlorine is 12.5% sodium hypochlorite Laundry bleach that I use is 6% sodium hypochlorite. Sometimes I dilute the pool chlorine by one part water to one part pool chlorine and use it just like regular laundry bleach.
Yes bleach does contain the same active ingredient as liquid chlorine commonly used in swimming pools but it is at a much lower concentration. Generaly for swimming pools we use either 10% or 12.5% Sodium Hypochlorite.
Standard laundry bleach works fine in a pool. You should be sure to get plain bleach, not scented. The chemical in bleach is exactly the same as the chemical in pool chlorine but is generally about half the concentration. Most bleach is 6% sodium hypochlorite while chlorine for pools is 10-12%. So generally you would use about twice as much bleach as chlorine. The amount you add must be determined using a test kit to determine your current level of chlorine. An online calculator to use to determine the amount of bleach to add is at http://www.poolcalculator.com. As an example, if you have 0 ppm chlorine now and want to raise it to 4 ppm in a 23000 gallon pool, you would need to add 196 ounces (about 1-1/2 gallons) of bleach.

Liquid household bleach will contain anywhere between 3 and 10 percent chlorine. The powdered form of bleach typically contains 40 percent.

Chlorine is not so much good for swimming but it is good for keeping the water free from harmful microorganisms, economically.
0.1 gallon of bleach, or 12.8 ounces (just over 1.5 cups)
Use one gallon of chlorine for every 10,000 gallons of water.
If the cistern is clean, 15 fluid ounces of 5.25% chlorine bleach (Clorox or Purex) will suffice. If the cistern water is turbid, increase the amount to 24 fluid ounces.
