I've been using iodophor for a while, at 1ml per litre.
I was reading some post that took me to this page where the author cites a manufacturer as recommending a concentration of 12.5 ppm.
Unless I've screwed up my maths (possible, but did a bit of head scratching), 1ml per litre = 1,000 ppm, which is about 80x as strong as I need, so I should be adding about 0.0125ml per litre, which is a ridiculously small amount.
The AHB wiki on iodophor also mentions 12.5 ppm and gives a dilution of 10ml per 10 litres, so consistent with what I've been doing.
So, just trying to understand the maths here. I'm quite certain there are 1,000 ml in 1 litre and ppm does mean parts per million, so, where's the error....
