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.

∙ 12y agoYou'll need about 7lbs. of Calcium Hypochloride. Use this, not liquid chlorine becasue liquid is about 12% chlorine while cal. hypo is 65%
It doesn't matter if you use cal hypo or 12% liquid chlorine. 7 pounds of 65% cal hypo yields 4.55 pounds of available chlorine. 4-1/2 gallons of 12% liquid chlorine would yield the same result, as a gallon of liquid yields about a pound of available chlorine. Chlorine is chlorine . . . the important aspect is use the proper amount to deal with your particular situation.
