From the Army manual, to make a concentrated chlorine solution that you can use for disinfecting water (or to be used in maintaining a clean and sanitary living environment), you'll want to use calcium hypochlorite that has around 70% available chlorine.From there, the article says you use the homemade liquid bleach the same way you'd use purchased liquid bleach, 8 drops (or so) to a gallon of water.If you're buying pool shock, on the back of the bag it will tell you what percentage of chlorine is available. The one I use is called "Zappit 73 Pool Shock, it is pure calcium hyphochlorite that contains up to 73% available chlorine and sells for around $ 5 for a 1lb bag.
To make the homemade chlorine bleach solution, you'll need to do the following:
- Mix 2 level Tablespoons of Calcium Hypochlorite to 3 cups of water.
Thank you so much!
