How many times do you shock your pool?
Assuming here your primary sanitizer is chlorine, you need to shock a pool at least once a week, maybe more often in very warm climates. It is normally 1 lb per 10,000 gallons. The best shock or oxidizer is 78% calcium hypochlorite. You can get this at any professional pool store that sales the brand Poolife. They are the only one that carries it. There are also other percentages out there, 73%, 68%, 62%, 54%, and 47%. Just pay attention to the ingredients and the concentraton of the cal hypo. The higher the %, the better the product. If you choose to use the lesser concentration, you are going to need almost double what you would use if higher concentration. Its actually more cost effective to purchase the higher concentration.AnswerThe amount of shock depends on how big your pool is. You can determine this by reading the back of the chemical package.
