Active Ingredient: 99% Sodium Dichlor
In The Swim’s Granular Chlorine Sodium Dichlor has the highest percentage of Sodium Dichlor available for a powerful sanitizing chlorine pool and spa shock. Some other pool and spa shocks have a lower percentage of active ingredient with a higher percentage of inert ingredients, reducing the amount of chlorine sanitizer that is ultimately added to your pool or spa.
55% Available Chlorine
With In The Swim’s Chlorine Sodium Dichlor, you get 55% available chlorine to kill bacteria and algae. Don't settle for anything less when looking for a pool and spa shock to effectively treat problems like algae blooms and swimming accidents fast. As the chlorine dissolves in the water, it forms hypochlorous acid which is what kills and eradicates algae and bacteria.
Stabilized Chlorine Granular Shock
UVA/UVB rays from the sun can rapidly deplete the chlorine that's in the pool water. This degradation significantly decreases the longevity of the sanitizer which means having to add chlorine more frequently. ITS’s Sodium Dichlor is stabilized, containing an ultraviolet inhibitor to help make sure the chlorine sanitizer stays in the water doing its job killing bacteria and algae.
To rid of algae and bacteria in your water, rely on In The Swim’s Granular Chlorine Sodium Dichlor buckets of pool shock as an affordable way to keep your water clean, clear, and sanitized. Our Chlorine Sodium Dichlor has the highest active ingredient to stop organic contaminants from forming in your water
Routine Usage Directions for Swimming Pools
- Broadcast Chlorine Sodium Dichlor evenly over a wide area in the deepest part of the pool with the circulation pump running.
- To prevent bleaching or damage to the pool surface, use a pool brush to disperse any granules that may have settled to the bottom of the pool.
- Broadcast 3 ounces of In The Swim Chlorine Sodium Dichlor per 10,000 gallons of the pool water every other day, or as needed, to maintain a Free Available Chlorine (FAC) level of 1-4 ppm. This quantity may vary based upon bather load, water temperature and other conditions.
- With a reliable test kit, test the Free Available Chlorine (FAC) level. If starting up the pool, repeat the dosage until the Free Available Chlorine level is 1-4 ppm.
Superchlorination Directions for Swimming Pools
- In case of algae, colored water, unpleasant odors, burning eyes, excess bather load, heavy rains and winds, or high temperatures, superchlorination may be required.
- Adjust the pH to 7.2-7.6 with the appropriate product following the label directions.
- Add 21 ounces of Chlorine Sodium Dichlor per 10,000 gallons of pool water to remove excess organic materials and keep the water sparkling clear. This dosage provides approximately 6.8 ppm of Free Available Chlorine.
- Do not reenter the swimming pool until the Free Available Chlorine (FAC) is between 1-4 ppm. If algae is visible, brush pool surfaces and vacuum. Repeat treatment the following day, if necessary. You may only need to superchlorinate every other week if the water temperature is below 80F.

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 a pool 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. At In The Swim, 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.
