Determine desired chlorine dosage or solution strength.b. Check listing on table 2-19. Read across for required quantity of calcium hypochlorite powder needed.c. If chlorine requirement is unknown, start with a 1.0 percent solution strength. Adjust in accordancewith chlorine residual tests.NOTETable 2-19 is based on strength of calcium hypochlorite at 70% strength.Table 2-14.
