Shock treating your pool weekly is important
because it protects you and your family
from bacteria and organic contaminants.
Super chlorination or shock treating removes
chloramines, which cause eye irritation and
“chlorine” odors from the pool water by
addingfreeavailablechlorine(FAC).
Ashocktreatmentadds5to10ppmFAC.The
pump and filter should be in operation when
shocking your pool. After shock treatment,
check to make sure the FAC levelis in the
range of 1 to 4 ppm before entering the pool.
HTH® Pool Care recommends shocking at
the same time and day each week. Sundown
is the optimum time to shock your pool
because the chlorine can work without
fighting the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Shocking
after sundown also gives chlorine more time
to restore water clarity.
Apply an additional shock treatment
when any of the following situations
occur:
•Afterheavyswimmerload
•Afterstrongrainsandwinds
•Duringperiodsofextreme
