The following table shows how much bleach is needed to make up different concentrations of disinfectant based on an initial concentration of 5% (most store bought bleach sold in North America is rated at 5.25% but loses strength with time).
Choose a container large enough to hold the final amount of diluted bleach you want to make.
Measure & pour into the container the amount of 5% (initial) chlorine bleach you need.
Fill the container with water to the level of the Final Volume.

After searching online for 1000 ppm test strips, I found these at Indigo Instruments, and they were exactly what I needed, plus very reasonably priced! In an era where it is hard to find good customer service, I was pleasantly surprised when Chris answered all my questions, and made sure the product I ordered was what I was looking for! He was super helpful and knowledgeable. We received the product quickly and would not hesitate to order from Indigo again. Thanks, Indigo!
