Oxidizing your pool and spa is a crucial part of routine water treatment and maintenance. Using In The Swim's Chlorine-Free Pool Shock provides an increase in Free Available Chlorine which works to sanitize the water. However, our Chlorine-Free Oxidizing Pool Shock will not add any additional chlorine to the pool or spa but will help increase the capability of the chlorine sanitizer that's already in the water.
Active Ingredient: 38% Potassium Peroxymonosulfate
The active ingredient in the Chlorine-Free Oxidizing Pool Shock from In The Swim is Potassium peroxymonosulfate (MPS) which is a strong oxidizer to remove non-living organic contaminants in the water. Chlorine sanitizer is used to kill bacteria so your water is safe to swim and enjoy but it can also bind to other things such as ammonia, sweat, urine and other water contaminants. All these contaminants can form chloramines or combined chlorine. Chloramines are not effective at sanitizing and worst of all, cause eye and skin irritation for pool and spa users. Adding 1lb bags of In The Swim's Chlorine-Free Oxidizing Pool Shock to your water care regimen regularly eliminates these contaminants, preventing the formation of chloramines in the water. That way everyone can have a more comfortable and enjoyable swimming experience.
Chlorine-Free Oxidizer
Using reactive oxygen, In The Swim's Chlorine-Free Oxidizing Pool Shock oxidizes and removes non-living organic contaminants in the water. This oxidation process helps increase the overall effectiveness of the sanitizer, such as Free Available Chlorine (FAC), that's already in the pool to be more efficient at killing and controlling bacteria and algae. This also helps the chlorine sanitizer in the water last longer, helping to reduce overall chlorine usage. If you have algae in the water or the chlorine level is too low, that's when you need to use a chlorine shock. But if the water is not as clear as it could be, chlorine sanitizer is in range or the pool and spa had heavy use, then In The Swim's Chlorine-Free Oxidizing Pool Shock 1lb bags is an ideal shock to use.

What does pool shock do?
- Removes visible algae in the pool
- Removes invisible bacteria in the pool
- Removes chloramines and other disinfection byproducts
- Removes cloudy water by oxidizing suspended particles
- Removes organic and inorganic contaminants
- Maintains healthy, sanitary pool water
When should I shock my pool?
It is best to shock at night for a couple of reasons:
- For most shocks, you can’t swim for about 8-10 hours after shocking, so it’s best to do the shocking treatment when you’re done swimming for the day.
- The sun can eat up the shock because it is not stabilized, so it’s best to shock when the sun isn’t out for maximum performance.
How often do I need to shock my pool?
Many people “shock” their pool, or superchlorinate, once per week. This may not be necessary, unless you have high bather loads, algae or chloramine levels greater than 0.3ppm. A DPD test kit will help you calculate chloramine levels in your pool. If all is well, it may be advisable to shock monthly, to ensure that the water remains sanitary.
How do you shock a pool?
- Clean the Pool. Leaves and debris on the floor and surface will waste your chlorine’s killing power, as it attacks these organic materials, rather than the A-B-C problem that we are trying to correct.
- Lower the pH. Chlorine is very sluggish at high pH levels. At a pH of 8.0, less than half of the chlorine you add to the water will convert to hypochlorous acid, the killing form of chlorine. Lower the pH to 7.2 before shocking.
- Read the Label. We have 8 different types of pool shock, all with slightly different dosages. For some pool shock, dilution in a bucket is necessary to dissolve the granules, to prevent damage to pool surfaces.
- Add the Shock. Distribute the granular chlorine throughout the pool surface, with the pool pump running. Be careful not to spill any on your clothing or the pool deck, and don’t broadcast it into the wind!
- Brush the Pool. This helps to distribute the chemical, and removes the layer of dust and film on your pool surfaces, which may allow some contaminants to escape treatment. A good brushing, vacuuming and backwashing should follow an algae shock treatment.
