Default Larger water changes

And the fish are ok with that large amount of chlorinated water? My pond is
between 600-700 gallons and I have 8 goldfish, 8 inchs down to 3.

I put my dechlor in at the start of filling. I estimate how much water is
being changed and then guess the amount of dechlor. If you have a water
meter on the end of your hose, you could put in enough for say 100

gallons,
then the next, and so forth. This would give a better approximation of

the
amount needed. I always overdose.

Sitting here rereading my post, I realized I left part of what I wanted

to
ask out. When you do the water change, say 400 gallons, do you put 400
gallons into the pond and than mix in the dechlor, or do you do it a

little
at a time?
