    Great Answer

    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    On One Hand: Liquid or Dry Chlorine?

    Liquid chlorine (sodium hypochlorite) contains between 10 and 16 percent chlorine. This chemical may be poured directly into the pool. Dry chlorine (calcium hypochlorite) comes in a tablet or granulated form. It contains 70 percent chlorine. Dry chlorine must be encased in a floating chlorine dispenser to ensure equal distribution.

    On the Other: Pool Size Versus Amount to Add

    Adding liquid chlorine to a pool requires knowing the amount of water your pool can hold. Once you know the pool capacity, adding the liquid chlorine in the amounts specified will ensure a safe, clean pool.

    Pool Capacity (gallons) followed by amount of liquid chlorine to add (ounces):

    1,000 gallons, 1.5 ounces
    2,500 gallons, 4 ounces
    5,000 gallons, 8 ounces
    7,500 gallons, 12 ounces
    10,000 gallons,16 ounces
    12,500 gallons, 20 ounces
    15,000 gallons, 24 ounces

    Bottom Line

    Because pools vary by location, environment and construction, it is important to test the water every time pool chemicals are added. Test kits are available at pool supply stores. A licensed pool professional can also provide tips to keep your pool looking new and safe.
