Simplified calculation: use a pint (2 cups or 500 mililiters) of bleach
in 25 gallons...a quart (4 cups or 1,0000 ml) in 50 gallons, double that
amount in 100 gallons...you should be able to take it from there.


Or....for even more simplified calculations

For every gallon of tankage give 3 glugs from the jug.

For every 3 liters of tankage give 1 glug.

If, when you run the water through the pipes it smells as if you've
added too little;...add more.

If it smells as if you've added too dad-gummed much, and not only have
you ruined your water system and the environment by dumping that much
chlorine into the system, and you've wasted your money....It might be
the right amount....or you did in fact screw it all up.

Leave it for the "right" amount of time, or overnight...depending on
if you "over-cated" or not.

At some point it all depends on how picky one is, and the level at
which one assume risk and responsibility.
