Note: A 5% solution is the recommended dose.  Where the build-up of iron is slight a 2.5% solution is permissible.  To calculate the amount of Clearbore required you will need to know the diameter, depth and standing water level of the bore.

Clearbore Dosage Calculation:

Depth of bore minus standing water level (SWL) = metres of water
Find grams required per diameter from the above table = grams/metre
Multiply metres of water x grams/metre = dosage in grams
Divide dosage in grams by 1000 = dosage in kilograms

Clearbore Dosage Example:

Example - a 150mm diameter bore, depth 70m, SWL 20m.
Metres of water = 70-20 = 50m
50m x 880grams = 44000grams, divide by 1000 = 44kg Clearbore

Metric Conversions:

Feet to Metres: x 0.305
Gallons to Litres:  x 4.546
