how to actually shock the pool?
I need to shock my pool, the guys in the shop have told me 2 different things, one said i can put it straight into the pool and the other said I have to mix it with water to dissolve it before I put it in, as I have a fibreglass pool ans if I dont it will damage the fibreglass. Can anyone advise me and step by step through the process.

If you are shocking with Cal-Hypo, then you often pre-mix it in a bucket of pool water since it can be a little slower to dissolve. For chlorinating liquid, there should be no need to pre-dilute it as you can just pour it slowly over a return flow at the deep end of the pool with the pump running.
If you shock with Cal-Hypo, keep in mind that for every 10 ppm FC that it adds, it also increases Calcium Hardness (CH) by 7 ppm. If your pool water is already close to saturated with calcium carbonate, then it may get cloudy when you add the Cal-Hypo though will likely clear up within a day.
