It really depends on the size of your pool. A normal 25,000 gallon pool would require about 6.5-7lbs. of chlorine to bring it up 10ppm.

How much shock in a 4.000 pool?

I would not shock the pool unless you have problems like the water is getting cloudy or worse if it starts to turn green. Realistically, if nobody is urinating in the pool or unless you have extremely large bather loads shocking is not required. Before shocking make sure to test the pH and adjust it to 7.2-7.4. Then make sure there is adequate chlorine in the pool (1 -3PPM). IF you still require shock, buy a non-chlorine shock (potassium monopersulfate). For a 4,000 gallon pool, follow the directions on the product. It usually comes in a one pound packet and about a half of that bag should do it.
