I had two dead mice in my pool so I'd like to do a shock of the pool. I've never done a shock. I have a 20k salt water pool. How much shock do I use? I do plan on using bleach since I've been reading it's the same thing. Thanks in advance.

Assuming you've been maintaining the right chlorine level [FC/CYA][/FC/CYA] you shouldn't really need to do anything but strain the dead critters out. But I understand the crawling skin sensation so all you need to do is get some bleach to raise the FC level up to shock level for your CYA. Your SWG won't be able to generate enough FC fast enough. Just dribble the bleach into the return stream and let the pump run a while to mix it all up.
Thank you. The pool is super clear and all numbers are balanced correctly. It's more of a peace of mind thing. Mice are full of diseases so figured a little bleach would help.
