    With a CYA of 60, shock level is 20 ppm, and you need to sustain that as consistently as possible until you can go overnight without losing more than 1 ppm of chlorine. I don't know how much total that will be, but

    I've looked at the best guess chart. I'm still at a loss as to how much shock I need to put in to reach the desired level.

    In your pool, each quart of 6% bleach will add a little under 1ppm of chlorine. So, when you test your chlorine level, use that as a reference to know how much bleach to add to take your chlorine level back up to 20ppm.
