Normally i add Pool Shock every 5 Day's ore so 0,1g per 20 Liter that's maybe 1ppm know i realise that the Temps are high so the Chlorine evaporated quicker is that ture? I have ppm test stips they showing me after 1-2 day's 0,5ppm so i need to add more Pool Shock maybe every 2 Day's when the Water is higher in temps?
How much Pool Shock add to my Water Reservoir when temps hitting over 26 Celsius?

Get 0-5 ppm Chlorine test strips. You want 2 ppm of chlorine to keep feed water clean.
Notate how many grams/ml you needed to add and record which product & strength was used.
Everyone's source water is different unless you have near 0 PPM water (RO Filtered, Distilled etc), this is probably why there is no exact answer. It can very easily be over construed just like fertilizer feed charts.
I personally recommend using pure unscented bleach and dosing by ml/gal.

That's normal, chlorine is volatile, it becomes gaseous and leaves the water hence the smell in the air.
The warmer the water, more surface area to atmosphere (big open top barrels etc) the more the chlorine will escape the solution.
Are you using air stones?
No air stones but a wave maker? I do no let my nose do the smell when the water not smell like pool i add again pool shock
