The threshold for smelling Cl is one part per million. One gram per

Depends on the nose I suppose, but actually the quote comes from the
Water Supervisor at Udon Airbase in the days I worked there. I had
dosed a well with what seemed to be a small amount of sodium
hypochlorite and turned the water into Clorox and since I had gotten
the stuff from the Water Plant I went back to bitch, whereupon I was
given a water test kit and the instructions that "you use less then
you think is enough" together with the "if it stinks you got too much"
statement.

Cheers,

Bruce
