Use following formula

                                                      Concentration of final solution required (ppm) x Volume of Final Solution (ml)                           

No of ml of NaOCl Sol required = ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                       Concentration of NaOCl Solution x 10000

 

In case you are using 5% NaOCl solution and want to make 100ppm solution. The calculation is simple for X liter of water you need to add 2X ml of NaOCl solution.

 

Hope above helps

 

Thanks

Hello.

 

Bleach is basically sodium hypochlorite with a concentration of 5.25%.

 

This is .0525 when expressed as a decimal.  To get parts per million, you multiply is by 1,000,000

 

So, the bleach solution at 5.25% is 52,500 ppm.

 

To figure out how much water you need to add to dilute it to 200ppm:

 

52,500 ppm * (how much water to add) = 200 ppm

 

or X = 200ppm/52,500 ppm, or .0038 ml per ml of water or .0038 gal per gallon of water

 

or

 

3.8 ml per liter of water

 

or

 

2.4 oz per 5 gallons
