    You may not have. I prefer to add 1 ml of the bleach (using a glass eyedropper) to 10 liters of water--that's 5 soda jugs-- into a 5 gallon bucket. I stir it up well before I test it.
    I test it just as I test chlorine in the pool, using the 10ml line and 1 drop = .5ppm of FC.

    The key is to remember that PPM is Parts Per Million. 1 ml of bleach in 10,000 ml (10 liters) is the same ratio as 1 gallon of bleach in 10,000 gallons of water.

    Since 1 gallon of (say) 8.25% bleach adds 8.25ppm of FC to 10,000 gallons, so 1 ml of 8.25% bleach adds 8.25ppm of FC to 10,000 ml.

    That's just how I figure.
