Now I'm not questioning the antics or saying they don't work or anything but, 80 bottles of bleach just seems slightly over the top. Why doesn't a pool company put 80 gallons of chock in the pool when they come out?
Because if you dump that much chlorine into a pool in one shot it would likely damage the pool lining and the equipment (pump, fittings, etc.) not to mention that it would throw the pool's chemistry so far out of whack as to make it crazy hard to ever get back to normal again.
Pool "shock" is (for all intents and purposes) bleach, it's just in a higher concentration. Sodium Hypochlorate is the chlorine-containing chemical in both bleach and shock. There is less sodium hypochlorate in bleach so you use more to get the same effect. Bleach is just cheaper (sometimes) and easier to come by at any retail store.
I wouldn't judge any method against a pool store's method or advice. The amount of things they say/do incorrectly is astonishing for being "in the business" of taking care of pools.
Jbizzle there's no reason to be rude I was simply asking a question as to why we use so much bleach but the pool company doesn't use that equivalent in shock. And for your information, I have read pool school, multiple times actually. I'm still waiting on my test kit to arrive so that I can even begin to understand what it is that I'm going to be doing. So don't go around accusing people of untrue things when all said person is trying to do is understand everything. Thanks.

Oh! Question! How do I measure my pool? It's shaped like a puzzle. I'm going to have to do pool math to find out how many gallons it is, right now I'm going off a guesstimate. A pic of my pool is my avatar photo. Any insight on how to measure an irregular shaped pool?
