Product label chemical adjustment example. You have a 200,000 litre condominium pool.<br />

There was a pool party on Friday night and the usual weekend bather load. On Sunday morning<br />

you observe the pool water to be cloudy and test a free chlorine level below 1 mg/L. You decide<br />

to treat the pool with 8 mg/L of additional chlorine using calcium hypochlorite. The label states<br />

that 630 grams will raise the chlorine level 10 mg/L in 40,000 litres. How much cal-hypo should be<br />

added?<br />
