the degree of water pollution;
the volume of the reservoir;
air temperature.
You should know this! Hydrogen peroxide is less effective at ambient temperatures above +28 ° C.

How to properly dilute hydrogen peroxide
As we said, before adding hydrogen peroxide, it is necessary to protect the exposed areas of the body and eyes. Then calculate the dosage and prepare the preparation for cleaning. It should be borne in mind that the effect of perhydrol slows down in highly polluted water.
