For Pipes, Method A using 24 hours is applicable (shorter time at higher dose may be allowed, see Guidance).
c
For Wells, Method B using 24 hours is applicable (shorter time at higher dose may be allowed, see Guidance).

Gallons to Cups conversion: Gallons Cups Weight of dry chlorine with a lower percentage than 65% can be calculated by
(gal x 16 = cups) 1.6 25.6 dividing 65% by the product's % chlorine (e.g., 65%/47%) times result in table.
