According to Wikipedia, " (The original reflecting pool) held approximately 6,750,000 U.S. gallons (25,600,000 liters) of water.[9] It was completely rebuilt between 2009 and 2012.[10] How much water the pool currently holds since the 2009 restoration is unknown."
The guide below only shows figures for 30,000 gallons, max size.

Complete Dosing Guide by Pool Size
Proper dosing depends on your pool volume, the H₂O₂ concentration you are using, and whether you are performing an initial shock or routine maintenance. The tables below cover the most common scenarios.
Important: Avoid 3% Drugstore H₂O₂
Household 3% hydrogen peroxide is far too dilute for pool treatment. You would need over 100 gallons of 3% to achieve what 1 gallon of 30% can do. Always use technical or higher-grade concentrations for pool and spa applications.
Initial Shock Treatment (First-Time or Conversion)
When converting from chlorine or shocking a pool for the first time with H₂O₂, use these doses to reach a target of 80–100 ppm:
Note: 12% requires gloves, 25% requires gloves and eye protection, 30% requires full PPE.
