use the 9600 rule

C xT = 9600 where C= available chlorine and T= time in minutes

if your chlorine level is at 2ppm (parts per million) then you would need

2xT=9600, 9600/2=T T=4800 minutes or 80 hours.

You can shorten the time by increasing the Cl level but do not exceed 20ppm


so if you went to 10ppm, 9600/10=960=16 hours. This is the time to kill the bacteria, such as cryptosporidia, etc.

the time until you can stand the chlorine is up to you after the 9600 time is up.


I knew that fuckin biology degree would pay off.
