    You and your SWG don't count.

    Well, technically aren't you shocking continuously?

    I never shock unless CC gets up.

    Only when the cc gets above .5 (hasn't in the last two years)(indoor pool) or if a child has a "poop" accident. I do double dose after a kids swim part to make sure but usually not above about 4ppm.

    I 'shocked' once last season, and haven't yet this year. Of course, using just bleach for chlorination.

    Yup, that is true. The Cl levels in the cell are high enough to acheive breakpoint. but, the same still holds true: if I don't have any CCs I don't shock. My pool doesn't turn green, so no reason there. If I get mustard, high Cl won't help it (been there, done that) so out comes the polyquat.

    However, when using bleach, I usually hovered around 0.5 CC. Never bothered to shock to get rid of it. Tried once and it seems I didn't go high enough, so it stayed the same.
