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.
When should I shock my pool?For optimal effectiveness, it is generally recommended to shock your pool at night. This allows the chlorine to work without interference from the sun's UV rays. Beyond your regular weekly maintenance, there are specific situations that necessitate additional shocking of your pool.
How often do I need to shock my pool?A regular weekly maintenance schedule involves shocking or oxidizing the pool water each week, using either a chlorine shock or a non-chlorine shock based on the tested levels of chlorine. You may use a chlorine-based shock when chlorine levels are below 2 ppm, or a chlorine-free shock to oxidize contaminants in the water when chlorine levels are above 2 ppm.
How do you shock a pool?
- Test the Water: Using a water test kit or test strips, ensure that all aspects of water chemistry are within the proper range. Use non-chlorine shock if your Free Available Chlorine level is between 2.0–4.0 ppm, and use a chlorine-based shock if levels are below 2.0 ppm.
- Circulate the Water and Pool Shock: Turn on your pump and filter system to circulate the water. Then, following product label instructions for application, pour your shock around the inside perimeter of your pool. The best time to shock is at dusk or evening hours, so you can let your pump run overnight. Shocking the pool at night allows the shock to work most efficiently, without the sun burning off the chlorine quite as fast
- Wait for Free Available Chlorine (FAC) Level to Drop: If using a chlorine-based shock, continue letting the pump run for at least 6–12 hours, then retest the water. The Free Available Chlorine (FAC) level may still be very high, making it unsafe to swim.
- Enjoy Healthy, Clean and Beautiful Pool Water: Wait until the FAC level falls within the ideal range of 2.0–4.0 ppm before jumping back in the pool. Now, go enjoy your clear, clean, and safe swimming pool!
