    This document provides instructions for making a 1% chlorine solution that can be used for water disinfection and testing. It lists the supplies needed and provides tables with the amounts of different chlorine products (liquid bleach, HTH, bleaching powder, NaDCC) to add to specific volumes of water to produce 1-20 liters of a 1% chlorine solution. Safety precautions are outlined such as adding chlorine to water slowly and avoiding storing solutions in direct sunlight.

    Make the 1% solution

    To make a 1% chlorine solution that can be used for the Modified


    Horrocks Test and disinfection of the water supply.
    Supplies needed:
    n Plastic tablespoon (Tbsp.) (15 g, n Chlorine product of known
    or 15 ml) concentration

    n Graduated 1 L bottle or measuring cup n Non-metallic stick for stirring

    n Non-metallic bucket/container with lid n Label

    n Clean water

    MAKE SURE TO WEAR REQUIRED PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

    Which chlorine product do you have?

    Liquid Bleach HTH (High-Test Bleaching Powder NaDCC (55%) Sodium


    (Sodium Hypochlorite 5%) Hypochlorite 70%) (Chlorinated Lime 35%) dichloroisocyanurate

    To make 1L of solution

    Pour 800 ml of water into Add 15 g (1 Tbsp.) of HTH Add 30 g (2 Tbsp.) of Add 18 g NaDCC granules
    your container, then add to 1 L of water.. bleaching powder to to 1 L of water.
    200 ml of liquid bleach. 1 L of water.

    To make 10L of solution

    Pour 8 L of water into a Add 150 g (10 Tbsp.) of Add 300 g (20 Tbsp.) of Add 364 g (24 Tbsp..)
    20 L bucket, then add 2 L HTH to 10 L of water. bleaching powder to 10 L NaDCC granules to 20 L
    of liquid bleach. of water. of water.

    NEVER add water to chlorine. This can cause an explosion. Always add chlorine to water!

    Use a bigger container than your desired quantity of Chlorine solution, to avoid spillage.

    Stir well for 10 seconds, or until chlorine powder/granules have dissolved.

    For the powders/granules, let the solution settle and use the clear liquid.

    Label your container “1% Chlorine Solution”.

    Cover container with lid. Do not store in direct sunlight and protect from heat.

    Use the solution promptly after mixing or within 24 hours.


    QUIC K REFERENCE TABLES FOR D I F F E R E NT VOLU M E S OF 1 % S OLU TI O N

    Liquid Chlorine
    Add the specified volume of bleach to the volume of water to prepare the desired volume of 1% chlorine solution.

    Chlorine-based powder
    Dissolve the specified quantity of chlorine-based powder in the total volume of water to prepare the desired volume
    of 1% chlorine solution.

    Chlorine-based Units: Volume of water

    * The calculated dose of NaDCC 55% to dissolve in 1 litre of water is 18 g (1¼ Tbsp.) However, for practicality and simplicity, you can dissolve 1 Tbsp. knowing
    that the final chlorine solution will be slightly less than 1% and it will require adding more chlorine in the Modified Horrocks test for batch chlorination.
    Another option is to add 30 g (2 Tbsp.) to 1.5 litres of water.

    ** The calculated dose of Chlorinated lime 30% to dissolve in 1 litre of water is 34 g (2¼ Tbsp.) However, for practicality and simplicity, you can dissolve
    30 g (2 Tbsp.) knowing that the final chlorine solution will be slightly less than 1% and it will require adding more chlorine in the Modified Horrocks test for
    batch chlorination.
