The most common bleach % has changed from 6% to 8.25%; I updated the page. The dosing doesn't have to change -- a little extra bleach is better than not enough.

Here's the dosing from that page:

Dose Chart
  • 2500 - 3500 gallons => 1/2 cup = 1 dose
  • 3500 - 5000 gallons => 3/4 cups = 1 dose
  • 5000 - 7000 gallons => 1 cups = 1 dose
  • 7000 - 11,000 gallons => 1 1/2 cups = 1 dose
  • 11,000 - 14,000 gallons => 2 cups = 1 dose

"sodium dichloro-s-triazintrione 99% with 55.5% available chlorine." Is this the dichlor that you're talking about?
Yes.
