During the process of shocking a pool, the more often you can check and bump the chlorine back up, the quicker the pool will clear--it is the consistency of shock level that will kill the algae off the quickest. Every 2-3 hours would be great, but that's not feasible for most people, so at a minimum I would say 2-3 times a day, or however often you can. Also, 3 to 1 dilution means 1 part pool water, 3 parts distilled water--the goal is to dilute the pool sample enough to produce levels that can be read by your tester. You'll love the K-2006 kit--it makes this SO much easier!
