I only had to shock my pool once this year - that was after it was flooded with all the rain in June. I test my water every day - I add bleach as needed to keep it in the mid level of the chart according to my cya.

Re: How often do you find you need to shock?
We started with all new water June 1 this year, and started BBB a week later. It's been clear blue so far but I noticed that it won't hold 1.5 ppm chlorine (OTO) overnight anymore, so I just put a big jug (174 ounces) of the 6% bleach in - 15,000 IG pool, CYA ~30ppm. Never really had a water quality problem, but the water now is -really- clear.

Re: How often do you find you need to shock?
I have had to shock twice. Had a bunch of kids and a storm witch dumped a bunch of organics. My CC hit around 2 so I dosed to a level of 25 and held it there for a day or so. My CC droped to around 0.5 to 1 and held there. I dont have a feally good test kit this year. I have a DPD but not a FAS-DPD. I bought this kit before I found this site early in the season. I WILL have one for Ben's kits for next season.

My CYA is around 40 and I keep my CL between 2-5 ppm and have not shocked this year
