2,6 ppm means that the 10 percent standard wont work. Drop to 8 percent withou dechlorinator and buy sodium thiosulfate instead of a liquid dechlorinator. It’s the chemical that reacts with chlorine and is 600 times cheaper.

Thanks. I’ve been using Smartpond Chlorine remover from Lowe’s. It was fairly cheap at about $8 for a bottle.

Sodium thiosulfate can be bought at the chemistry store on line at about $4 a pound. Two pounds will probably last for five years!

This reminds me of sodium percarbonate - sold by the pond industry for big bucks as various algaecide products. I buy it for sometimes as little $1 a pound from a soap making supplier.
