Dear Mr. Falk,
Thank you for contacting us about Clorox Bleach - Regular Scent. We always appreciate hearing from our consumers.
For small wading pools that are emptied daily we recommend using 1/8 cup of Clorox Bleach - Regular Scent per 100 gallons of water.
For larger above ground or in ground pools we would recommend the following for initial dosages of the product.
5,000 gallons water - 3 cups bleach, 6,000 gallons - water 4 cups bleach,
8,000 gallons water - 5 cups bleach, 10,000 gallons water - 6 cups bleach,
15,000 gallons water - 10 cups bleach, 20,000 gallons water - 13 cups bleach,
25,000 gallons water - 17 cups bleach, 30,000 gallons water - 20 cups bleach,
35,000 gallons water - 23 cups bleach.
Note: 2 cups = 1 pint, 4 cups = 1 quart, 16 cups = 1 gallon.
One quart of Clorox Bleach - Regular Scent per 6,000 gallons of water will supply approximately 2 ppm (parts per million) available chlorine, but this may dissipate rather rapidly in new water depending on the general sanitation conditions of the pool. Repeat dosage as needed to obtain 0.6 to 1.0 ppm available chlorine. Use chlorine test strips to adjust to the desired
concentration.
In chlorinating a swimming pool, mix the required amount of Clorox Bleach - Regular Scent with 10 parts water and feed this solution through a chlorinator into the main water supply line to the pool. The feeding rate should be adjusted so the required quantity of this product will be added uniformly throughout the filling of the pool; or, if the water is circulated through a filter, the bleach should be added throughout one complete circulation. If the product cannot be fed into the main water supply line, mix 1/2 pint of the product with 5 gallons of water and scatter over a portion of the pool surface; repeat until the required amount of the product has been scattered over the entire surface of the pool.
Check chlorine level in pool water at least daily with a pool testing set and add this product as needed to maintain 0.6 to 1.0 ppm available chlorine. One pint of Clorox Bleach - Regular Scent per 6,000 gallons of water will supply approximately 1.0 ppm available chlorine. Frequency of application of this dosage will vary depending on number of people using the pool, weather conditions (sunlight exposure) and general cleanliness of the pool area. Chlorine level for acid-stabilized pools should be maintained at 1.0 to 1.5
ppm available chlorine.
The effectiveness of the chlorine is best when the pool water has a PH range of 7.2 to 7.6. The PH of the pool water should be checked daily using a pool PH testing set and adjustment as necessary.
The regular use of this product, in the above proportions, in the swimming pool usually prevents the growth of algae in the water; however, if algae growth is causing the pool water to look cloudy and uninviting, it may be corrected by doubling the initial dosage of the product for a few treatments. This additional product should be added to the pool in the evening after the pool is out of use so the excess chlorine will be dissipated before the pool is used again.
Avoid skin contact with undiluted product; is such contact occurs, rinse immediately with water. When added as recommended, this product has no deleterious effects on the eyes, nasal p***ages, or skin of people using the pool and will have no effect on swimming apparel.
Enclosed is also the most current MSDS Document we have on this product. We hope you find this information helpful. You can find all of our MSDS Sheets on-line at

I do apologize, this is the only information we have. I apologize, that I am unable to better ***ist you.
Again, thank you for contacting us.
Sincerely,
Natasha Stevens
