Why Use Pool Shock?

Shocking your pool is the most effective way to rapidly boost chlorine levels, tackling harmful bacteria, stubborn algae, and organic contaminants that regular chlorination may leave behind. Whether you’re maintaining water clarity, responding to debris after a storm, or treating your swimming pool after an energetic gathering, shock treatment is a crucial step for consistent safety and sanitation.

Benefits of Pool Shock

• Kills bacteria and prevents algae blooms, protecting your pool water
• Restores clarity within hours, so your pool looks inviting and clean
• Significantly reduces eye and skin irritation triggered by chloramines
• Enhances the performance of other pool chemicals to keep your water balanced

When and How to Shock Your Pool

When to Shock

• After pool parties or periods of heavy swimming
• Following thunderstorms, excessive rain, or organic material entering the pool
• As part of a regular weekly maintenance routine

How to Shock

1. Test and adjust your pool water, targeting a pH between 7.2 and 7.4 for best results.
2. Evenly broadcast granular chlorine or non chlorine shock across the pool surfaces, ensuring the pool pump is running to circulate the solution.
3. Wait at least 8–12 hours (or follow product directions) before swimming again to ensure pool shock safety.
