Hello,

New pool owner here. I've been reading up and am taking back the chemicals I bought so that I can use the BBB method with our Intex. Getting the 6 way tester tomorrow. Just filled the pool today. So my question is, when do you "shock"? Once a week like they HTH guide says, or will it differ with the BBB method? And how do you "shock"? I have 15x42 metal frame. I found one thread that said I would need about 1/4 of a gallon of 6% bleach for daily care, but how much would I use for the shock treatment?

Also, when do I want to stay out of the pool? We're putting the bleach in at night and running the filter. Is it safe to use in the morning? When you shock, do you stay out for awhile? Is it ok to swim when you've got the sock with CYA in there?
