    Default New Clorox Formula?

    Hello Everyone! I see Clorox has changed their formula to a concentrated version. Will this work the same as the original formula?

    Thanks
    Cooper

    Yes, just scale down the amount needed since it's now 8.25% concentration instead of 6%.

    Ok...so, the simple rule of thumb is....
    1 gallon of 8.25% will add 8.25ppm of FC to 10,000 gallons, or 4.125ppm of FC to 20,000 gallons or 16.5ppm of FC to 5,000 gallons.

    Perfect timing. I just bought some to prepare for opening next week and was wondering about that.

    Thanks.
