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.

How to use pool shock effectively for maintaining clean and clear water in your pool?
To use pool shock effectively for maintaining clean and clear water in your pool, follow these steps: Test the water: Use a pool water testing kit to check the chlorine and pH levels in your pool. Calculate the amount of shock needed: Refer to the instructions on the pool shock product for the correct dosage based on your pool size and current water conditions. Dilute the shock: Dissolve the pool shock granules in a bucket of water before adding it to the pool. This helps prevent staining or damage to the pool surface. Apply the shock: Pour the diluted shock solution around the perimeter of the pool while the filtration system is running. This ensures even distribution of the shock throughout the water. Wait and test: Allow the shock to circulate in the pool for several hours or as recommended on the product instructions. Test the water again to ensure the chlorine and pH levels are within the desired range. Repeat if necessary: If the water is still cloudy or algae persists, you may need to shock the pool again or consult a professional for further advice. By following these steps, you can effectively use pool shock to maintain clean and clear water in your pool.
