Thanks... I am new to this whole thing so can you explain shocking... I have 1 1/2 Big bottles of Clorox and a bag of POOLIFE Turbo Shock treatment. it says 78% available chlorine with 22% other ingredients. Says a minimum available chlorine of 75%.

It's about a 3lb bag but doesn't say. Will the calulator tell me how much to add? What would this be called? How often/ when should I shock. The bag suggest once a week but I'm not sure...(Obviously follow instructions but since the company has a lot to gain by every pool in the world shocking once a week I am wondering if that is necessary...)

Can you please tell me what merits a shocking? Is it something that I should do regularly or under certain situations...

Sorry for so many questions just not sure. Also the bags says I shouldn't shock unless the CH is 220 ppm or more!?!?!

Do I broadcast the granules in the pool as instructed? Just want to make sure it won't hurt the floor....
