From my understanding and research, 1lb of calcium hypo = 1 gallon bleach of 10-15% sodium hypo.
Calcium chloride is a solid and therefore is not measured by gallons. The weight of a gallon of calcium chloride solution would depend on the concentration of said solution.
13.5 lbs. per Imperial Gallon / 11.86 lbs per US Gallon.
The weight of sodium hypochlorite (bleach) varies depending on the concentration. Bulk users (municipal water treatment, manufacturing, cooling towers) most frequently use 12.5% sodium hypochlorite which weighs 10 lbs. per gallon.
A UK gallon also known as an imperial gallon is larger. An imperial gallon is 4.5L and a US gallon is 4L
You use 1/2 of a canteen cup.
You use 1/2 of a canteen cup.
You use 1/2 of a canteen cup.
Use one ampule of calcium hypochlorite to 1/2 canteen cup of water. (The desired chlorine residual should be 1ppm)

Pool shock is calcium hypochlorite. Liquid bleach is sodium hypochlorite. Liquid pool shock is sodium hypochlorite. Yes, they are all basically the exact same things, the only difference is which metal they are bonded with for delivery and stability. Calcium hypochlorite is the granulated form of pool chlorine. It is useful if you have an in ground plaster/concrete/gunite/tile pool as it supplies calcium to the water to help maintain hardness. Sodium hypochlorite is liquid form. This is useful to use if you have a vinyl lined pool since you don't need to maintain elevated calcium hardness in these types of pools. Household bleach (non scented) is 6% sodium hypochlorite by solution. Liquid pool chlorine is 10%-12% sodium hypochlorite by solution. Granulated chlorine is 65% calcium hypochlorite. 10oz of granulated chlorine = 1/2 gallon of liquid pool chlorine = 1 gallon of household bleach. These measurements will raise the chlorine level by 5ppm in 10,000 gallons of water.

If you wanted to buy Calcium, you wouldn't even have to buy raw calcium. Just buy a gallon of milk in Acme or something.
