Example for calculating the total amount of chlorine compound needed: Use about two ounces of 70 percent calcium hypochlorite per 100 gallons of water for 100 ppm residual. A six-inch diameter well has a volume of about one and one-half gallons per foot. If the well has 200 feet of water, then at least six ounces of calcium hypochlorite will be required i.e. one and one-half gallons/foot × 200 feet × two ounces solutions/100 gallons = six ounces (or 0.36 pounds) of calcium hypochlorite. Note: There are 16 ounces/pound and 32 fluid ounces/quart.
