All depends on what you're shocking with.
If you can't sell it on eBay, it may not even qualify as landfill.

Retired (mostly) from the industry after 33 years...but still putzing around with a consumer information website, and trying to sell obsolete owners manuals

If you use MPS to shock with you can use the tub in as little as 15 minutes, I usually wait 1 hour.  If you are using chlorine based shock you should wait until the residual is back down to around 3ppm

Don't shock prior to going in! Make sure you have a decent sanitizer residual prior to but shock once you're done instead! Makes more sense that way as shocking and using the spa defeats the purpose really...
