Since it takes about 1/2 an ounce for 30 gallons and 1 ounce for 60 gallons respectively, I would presume about 3/4 of an ounce for 55 Gallons of water...This is from a website I found to determine the same inquiry. There is some room for discussion, the total they give to start off with doesn't equal the end result they say is capable with 1 gallon of BLEACH. So...I would consult with someone at the Red Cross in your local area and they should be able to confirm these figures.

Simple really. First convert 1 teaspoon to ounces. 1 teaspoon is 0.166666666667 ounce. Then divide this number by 128 which is the amount of ounces per gallon. 0.166666666667/128 0.167 divided by 128 = 0.0013046875 ratio bleach per ounce 0.0013046875 times 24 ounces = 0.0313125 ounce of bleach Converted to milliliters is 0.926021144426 Draw a little under 1 cc (1 cc is the same as 1 milliliter) into a syringe and add it to your 24 ounces of water.

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).
