I just got 5 pounds of this stuff as I'm using more and more tapwater lately. Is there any way to mix this into a stock solution?

I really don't have a way to measure out 12 measely grams per 100 gallons of water. Anyone?

This is not something you make into a stock solution then add it to your water. You need to know how much Clorine is in your water by using the proper test kits available and then use ClorAm-X as needed

Dosage rate: 32 grams (one ounce) will treat 1000 liters (264 gal) removing 1ppm ammonia. The chlorine content of any water sample can be easily determined with available chlorine test kits. The best kind of kit is one, which will give two different, but related, measurements: (1) "free, available chlorine" and (2) "combined available chlorine". Water treated with ClorAm-XTM will give false (high), off-scale readings with ammonia test kits that use Nessler's reagents. Water treated with ClorAm-XTM is compatible with most salicylate and phenol/hypochlorite test kits.
