How much clorine 12.5% bleach 'typically' needed to maintain my 25,000 gallon pool?

NEWBIE ALERT! I've had my money pond since 2000 and want to stock up at Menards when it goes on sale. I know all sorts of things can affect the pool water; i.e., weather, sun, bather load (which is unfortunately not much these days). I live in the Franklin (Milwaukee, WI) area and plan on having pool open from May 16th through September 30 (about 18 weeks). Just would like a guestimate so I can stock up and save some $. THANK YOU SO!

Welcome to TFP!

You can guesstimate by figuring out how much it will take to add 3ppm per day to your pool. You'll need your pool volume to do the calculation though.

I'm certainly a bit warmer in Texas. At 23K gallons using 8%, my usage is about 3-4 gallons/week in summer, 2-3 in winter (no closing for us). That maintains pool at about 6-10 PPM FC.
