Product Benefits

Why shock a pool?

  • Remove contaminants: Shocking removes contaminants like algae, bacteria, and chloramines. 
  • Maintain chlorine levels: Shocking maintains the free chlorine level in your pool. 
  • Clean after heavy use: Shocking is especially important after heavy use, like a party, when the pool has been exposed to feces, or after a rainstorm. 
  • Prepare for warmer weather: Shocking after the winter can help prepare your pool for swimming in warmer weather.
