3 parts per million (ppm) is measurement of the volume of chlorine in the water for every 1million litres of water there is three litres of chlorine in suspension. To effect sanitation a residual of 1.5 ppm is required, pools are dosed at a higher rate because the chlorine dissipates in sunlight and a 3ppm dose guarantees sanitation and leaves a residual of 1.5ppm as the sunlight degrades the chlorine.

How do you calculate 250 ppm chlorine solution in water?

To calculate 250 ppm (parts per million) chlorine solution in water, you would need 250 parts of chlorine for every 1 million parts of water. This can be simplified to 1 part of chlorine for every 4000 parts of water (since 1 million divided by 250 is 4000). Therefore, you would mix 1 unit of chlorine with 4000 units of water to achieve a 250 ppm chlorine solution.

How much chlorine to a 15 ounce bottle of water?

To solve this question, we need to figure out how much chlorine should be added to 15 ounces of water to achieve a mixing ratio of 1 part chlorine to 10 parts water. So, you would need 1.5 ounces of chlorine to add to 15 ounces of water to get the correct ratio of 1 part chlorine to 10 parts water.
