Thank you Mr Patel for your detailed answer, I just want to go through what you said to see what I understood: 1. "​Take a five ​gallon bucket ​fill it with ​tank water and ​add half of the ​calculated ​amount of ​bleach mix it ​good": In my case the calculated amount of NaOCl is 150 ml, therefore 75 ml in 20-liter bucket (more or less 5 gallon) gives 0.45 g of NaOCl. 2. "Now ​repeat the ​process with 3/​4 of the ​remaining NaOCl ​and check ​residual": Again, 56.2 ml of NaOCl in 20 L gives 0.34 g of NaOCl as result.   0.34+0.45=0.8 g of NaOCl in 500 L means 1.6 mg/L. Why do you say that I would be at 2-5% of my target?   Thanks.

0.34+0.45=0.8 g of NaOCl in 500 L means 1.6 mg/L. Why do you say that I would be at 2-5% of my target?

 

Thanks.
