What does pool shock do?
Pool shock introduces a potent concentration of oxidizing agents, typically chlorine or similar compounds, to eradicate bacteria, algae, and other organic pollutants in swimming pool water.
- 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 pool shock treatments, you can’t swim for about 8-10 hours after shocking, so it’s best to shock the pool water 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 super-chlorinate, once per week. This may not be necessary, unless you have high bather loads, algae or chloramine levels greater than 0.3ppm. A DPD water 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.
