small green spots on bottom of pool

It is very likely this is algae. As far as shocking, the number of days is different for every pool. You want to shock until you have clear water, pass the OCLT test, and less than 0.5ppm CC.

How are you currently testing your water? It would be smart to check out Pool School and read the article 'How to Shock your Pool' :goodjob:
