a dollar- that's how much shock for the pool costs
It,s easy. Just Shock your pool with a chlorine shock and then make sure the chlorine level is where you need it to be. It, more involved if you go from Chlorine to Bacqucil. but why would you want to Bacqucil is so much nicer and easier.
Use a chlorine reducing agent. You can get them at the pool supply. One is called After Shock, but there are others.
I'm assuming 15 round? Not much, start with 4 ounces of granular per week, monitor levels to see where total and free is at. Make sure to shock weekly, too. A chlorine based shock is your chlorine levels need to be raised, or a non-chlorine oxidizer if your chlorine levels are above 5 ppm.
better to get a bag of shock rather then guess and do it yourself local pool supply should have it
Chlorinate it to the max or shock the pool An get some algaecide into it as wel as well.

Be careful when testing for chlorine. No chlorine will have a clear reading but too much chlorine will cause bleaching of the test reagent confusing you to think you have no chlorine in the pool, try doing a dilution test where you dilute half pool water and half tap water, If coloured results appear with dilution you know you have too much chlorine. Swimming with too much chlorine can cause skin rashes irritations, discolouring of swim wear rotting the stitches, and blacken jewellry.
The amount of chlorine shock always depend on how much you want to raise your cholrine level for and the total amount of water in your pool. I was told by pool experts that the amount is 2.5 gals per 16,000gals or 1.5 gals per 10,000gals, once a week. During the summer, make sure you shock every 7 days, after sundown, when all swimmers are done. Shocking at night keeps the chlorine in the water longer.
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.
Shocking should be done in order to kill the chloramines. It depends on your chlorine level. For residential pools it should be 1.5-2.5ppm. For commercial, chlorine should be 3.5-4.5ppm. If you have just shocked, don't go in the water. The chlorine is probably 10-12ppm and will cause itching and burning. Wait until the level drops to a safe level, as stated above.
