Per 1000gallons of water: 5.25% Sodium Hypo-chlorite (liquid chlorine) 1 gallon
10% Sodium Hypo-chlorite (liquid chlorine) 64 oz
70% Calcium Hypo-chlorite (dry chlorine) 64oz
This treatment of water is to bring the chlorine concentration to minimum of 4.0ppm. This level is generally considered adequate to kill existing bacteria with the probability that a certain amount of the chlorine will be absorbed by the TDS total dissolved solids present in the water. The 'residual' reading after 24hrs of contact time should be a minimum of 2.0ppm to be considered effective.
Though Chlorine will kill bacteria, it is critical that you understand it will NOT Sanitize the water: meaning, that it has little or no effect on protazoa or viruses present in river water and that the water cannot be considered potable (safe for human consumption).

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).

Moronic Acid is an anti-retroviral agent used to treat HIV. Chlorine (especially free chlorine) is an effective disinfectant used to kill (especially) bacteria in water, like swimming pools and drinking water systems. I wonder if the questioner meant muriatic (hydrochloric) acid, which is sometimes used to lower the pH of pool water.
