  • How much chlorine should there be, 1 ppm in 100,000 liter?

    From Jerry Salinsky@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jul 13 20:01:09 2020
    Let's say I have a swimming pool with a capacity of 100,000 liters. How
    much chlorine (grams) should be there to achieve a concentration of 1 ppm?

    Thanks for your time. According to the article, it takes 1.3 oz of
    chlorine gas for 10,000 gallon of water to achieve 1 ppm. In my case,
    that'd be 97.5 grams of chlorine.

    Yes, you have to consider the chlorine source as sodium or calcium
    hypochlorite which I assume you have done.

    I have a chlorinator which generates chlorine from sodium chloride. So, chlorine gas is what I need for the calculation.
