Hey Pool Owners! Which type of shock should you use in your pool: chlorine shock or non-chlorine shock? Chlorine shock is a powerful, super-concentrated dose of chlorine that helps kill algae growth and bacteria. But it’s a harsh chemical and you’ll have to wait at least 8 hours before swimming again. Non-chlorine shock is great to help refresh your sanitizer, but it won’t battle bigger issues like algae. So for regular maintenance, use non-chlorine shock. And for serious issues and problematic

Hey Pool Owners! Are you adding the wrong amount of shock to your pool? A regular dose of chlorine shock is 1 pound per 10,000 gallons of water. But if you’ve got algae starting to form in your water or your combined chlorine levels are high, you’ll want to double that. And if you’ve got serious issues like dark green water, you’ll need a triple dose. Shocking with a regular dose once a week can help prevent these problems in the first place.
