After determining the correct volume of water to be treated, use this formula to calculate the correct amount of material to use:-

Vol. = volume of water to be treated. Can be any volumetric units of measurement - cubic feet, litres, gallons, acre-feet.

Conv. factor = the weight of material that must be added to one unit volume of water to give one part per million (ppm). See below for conversion factors.

ppm desired = the treatment rate desired in parts per million (ppm)

% active ingredient = the percent ingredient of the material to be used. Most materials used in treating fish diseases or aquatic weeds are 100% active or are considered to be 100% active for treatment purposes.

2.72 pounds per acre-foot

= 1 ppm

1,233 grams per acre-foot

= 1 ppm

0.0283 grams per cubic foot

= 1 ppm

0.0000624 pounds per cubic foot

= 1 ppm

0.0038 grams per US gallon

= 1 ppm

0.058419 grains per US gallon

= 1 ppm

1 milligram per litre

= 1 ppm

0.001 gram per litre

= 1 ppm

8.345 pounds per million gallons of water

= 1 ppm

1 acre-foot

= 43,560 cubic feet

1 acre-foot

= 325,850 gallons

1 acre-foot of water

= 2,718,144 pounds

1 cubic foot of water

= 62.4 pounds

1 US gallon of water

= 8.34 pounds

1 US gallon of water

= 3,785 grams or 3.785 kg

1 litre of water

= 1,000 grams = 1 kg (approx)
