To shock the pool, about a gallon. To just chlorinate, a quarter gallon, then measure the chlorine level with an OTO test kit. Keep the chlorine level between 1-3 PPM, and the pH at 7.2. You can adjust pH with plain old baking soda if the pH is too low, or add a little muriatic acid if the pH is too high.

How many kilos of chlorine need for 135600 liters of water in a pool?

Using regular chlorine bleach (5% solution) at a rate of 6.5 ounces of bleach per 1000 gallons of water gives a chlorination level of 2ppm per 1000 gallons. To get the rate for 2500 gallons, multiply 6.5 by 2 to get 13 ounces for 2000 gallons, then divide 6.5 by 2 to get 3.25 ounces (the amount of bleach needed to treat 500 gallons) and add that to the 13 ounces to get a total of 16.25 ounces of chlorine bleach per 2500 gallons of waterat a level of 2ppm.For a swimming pool, you would likely want a 3ppm chlorine to water ratio (24.375 ounces bleach per 2500 gallons water).
