You add diatomaceous earth (de) powder to a pool based on the size of the filter. Most pool filters have a plate on the side telling you how much de powder you need to add. If your filter does not have such a plate, the general formula is that you add 1 lb. of de powder for every 10 sq. ft. of filter area. That is, you need to measure the length, width, of your filter, taking the pleats into account, and use the formula "sq. ft. = length x width" to determine the square footage of your filter.
Approximately 200 lbs.
It depends on the depth. A gallon is a three dimensional measure - of volume. Only two measures are given.
There's no way of telling. 18,000 gallons is roughly 2400 cubic feet. If the pool was six feet deep, the surface area would be 400 square feet. if the pool was eight feet deep, the surface area would be 300 square feet. It could be almost any configuration.
no he couldn't swim that's why he died he drack too much chlorine and passed out in the pool! no he couldn't swim that's why he died he drack too much chlorine and passed out in the pool!
It is not possible to answer the question. A gallon is a measure of volume in 3-dimensional space. The question provides information in only 2 dimensions so there simply is not enough information.
2,272.6 cubic feet.
It's best to pour the bag of shock into an empty gallon jug, say from algecide or water and then fill it with water till it dissolves then pour in thru skimmer. If the powder just sits on the pool liner bottom, it will eat at the vinyl.
about 3 oz.

how much chlorine do I put for a 1,718 gallon pool
Let's say about 30 gallons.
That going to depend on -- how much of the pool's 15,000 gallon capacity is occupied by water -- the starting temperature of the pool and its contents if any -- the desired ending temperature of the pool and its contents if any -- how much ice is in a block None of these details is given in the question, so we can't begin to work toward an answer.
about 1 gallon at a dose rate of 5 parts per million, dah
I have a 28,000 gallon pool and my pump is 1hp. Works fine.
find the volume of the pool find the volume of one gallon in whatever unit you are using. divide pool volume by gallon volume
This depends on the water. take a sample to a pool shop and they will work it out for you. Or get a test kit so that you can do it your self.
I have a 17,000 gal pool with a spillover hottub and was charged $4200 for the job by the contractor. He used Florida gem.
