If you do not want to do complex calculations, you can use non-chlorine shock which is Potassium Monopersulfate. It comes in one pound packages. Throw in 1 lb every two weeks if it is a lightly used pool, 2LB every two weeks if it is a heavier used pool. 3LB if you regularly pee in the pool.
I have an 18 x 48 pool and we use 1 pound of shock weekly.
About 2 pounds initially, then one pound every weekor so or when you need iy after heavy use or when akgae ( green) appears.
a lot.

How much water do I have a 16x32 foot pool with debt of 4 foot to 6 foot
25k...too much.
if you have to ask then you cannot afford it
Liquid shock is 12.5% sodium hypochlorite. Clorox bleach is 5.95% sodium hypochlorite. It's the same stuff, but a lower concentration. You would have to calculate how much shock is needed for your pool and make adjustments for the concentration level. It works just as good as high priced "pool shock". i have a 12x36 pool ..........how much Clorox do i need to make it clear? its not green ,its foggy!! If your filter is working, and your water is balanced chemically, but still cloudy, perhaps your water has particles too small to be caught in the filter. This is what happened to me this year, after a spring season of record-breaking pollen levels. A pool service technician suggested that I add 20 lbs of alum to my 16x32 in-ground vinyl liner pool. I followed the directions on the alum bucket, and voila, my pool is crystal clear!
1/2 a bag OS shock
better to get a bag of shock rather then guess and do it yourself local pool supply should have it
one pound of cal hypo, granule chlorine, will treat 10,000 gallons of pool water. So use 1/4 pound to shock, two or three times that if pool goes green. If pool has a vinyl liner use sodium hypochloride, liquid shock, instead of granules.
a dollar- that's how much shock for the pool costs
Backwash first then shock. If you shock and then backwash you will be throwing away the shock you just put.
ive seen free pools given away by owners and ive seen them 10k, so very hard to answer that
