Distribute the bleach around the pool and spa, adding about 2 gallons based on Mike Smith's bleach calculator to bring it up to about 15 ppm.

....not to sound stupid, but shock with bleach (straight regular old bleach?) and bring what?? up to 15ppm. What is it that I'm bringing up to 15ppm (chlorine?)

shock = bleach = chlorine = liquid shock they are all the same thing, sodium hypochlorite. only diffrence is concentration levels, as long as the "straight regular old bleach" has no scents or additives its fine to use. you are bringing up your chlorine levels in the pool to 15 Parts Per Million. hope that clears some stuff up for you.
