    Default Re: 65% Cal Hypo

    Sherra,

    Cal-Hypo that is 65% pure and (it turns out) produces about 65% available chlorine has 1 pound equivalent to 1.22 gallons of 6.15% bleach (typical Clorox regular bleach). It would take about 1.06 gallons of 7% Ultra bleach and about 1.42 gallons of 5.25% bleach.

    1 gallon of 5.25% bleach is equivalent to 0.69 pounds of 65% Cal-Hypo while 1 gallon of 6.15% bleach is equivalent to 0.82 pounds of 65% Cal-Hypo.

    Hope that helps.

    Richard
