Where is the beachcalc- I can't find the thread?

6% Ultra unscented bleach adds 6ppm to every 10,000 gallons.

SHOCK is a verb - you use chlorine to shock - there are granular forms of chlorine (hypo-cal) but it adds calcium as well as chlorine.

Most people here shock their pools using plain old bleach. It tends to be cheaper and doesn't add unwanted chemicals.

Follow Duraleigh's instructions - that is shocking.

Here's a link to bleachcalc for ya.

In taking your Cl level to 16 you ARE shocking. When using the BBB method, shock is an action you perform not a specific product.

Take a look at Ben's best guess table for reference in this link http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthread.php?t=365 to determine how much Cl you need to shock at a given CYA level.

Hope this helps.
