This is the best and the cheapest cleaner/sanitiser money can buy.
One teaspoon(5gr) per 25 litres is the dose.that makes 5000 litres for £13

1000÷5=200×25=5000. You should have paid attention in your mathematics lessons.

It is usually sold in special tubs resistant to degradation that last longer than one year. Plus it comes in a plastic bag inside the special tub. Is it that you are just trying to find a reason to not use it ? The "Horse to Water" saying has a parallel.
