Hey Pool Owners! If you’ve got algae in your pool, you need to add chlorine shock to your water ASAP. But how much shock you need depends on the color of the algae. A normal dose of chlorine shock is usually 1 pound per 10,000 gallons of water. If you have light green algae, you’ll need to add a double dose of shock. If you have dark green algae, add a triple dose of shock. And if you have black-green algae, you’ll have to add a quadruple dose. Follow us at Swim University for more pool care tip

Hey Pool Owners! Are you damaging your pool liner by using shock? Any chemical that clumps on or around your pool liner can damage it. So if you’re using shock, consider pre-dissolving it in a bucket of water. Then add it to the pool by slowly pouring it around the edges. This will help reduce the risk of bleaching your liner.
