JetsetBkk Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) I used to add a little Haiter bleach (6% available chlorine) to my 2,000 litre water tank and want to do it again, but I can't find a consistent ratio of bleach to water. Here are what some sites quote, and they just don't work out to be the same: 1/4 cup in 15 gallons (1 gallon = 4.54 litres) 40 cups in 2000 gallons (1 cup = 237 ml) 4 tsp in 50 gallons (1 tsp = 5 ml) 0.626 ml in 1 gallon 25 oz in 10,000 gallons (1 oz = 30 ml) 500 ml in 10,000 litres Can anyone say what they use?

GregTN Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I use 80ml of 6% bleach in my 1000 liter tank once a month that is filled from the village water supply. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bankruatsteve Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I used to use 2 caps in my 1500l tank every 3-4 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there any lingering smell or that just became the norm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to match the turnover in the tank. It seemed to work about right. Now, most of our water is handled by village pressure so don't use the tank very much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCM Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) We use a couple of caps of Haiter (Blue) once every time in our rain water tanks! (Tank is 2500 Liter) We only use it for showers / washing etc (not for drinking) If I add too much I get comments from my wife "why does the water smell like bleach" ????
