Swimming Pool Shock

Powerful formulas found in swimming pool shock eradicate bacteria and other potentially harmful microorganisms from your swimming pool, protecting your swimmers against illnesses and infections. Shocking pool water helps to eliminate organic compounds that accumulate in the water. When organic elements built up in your pool, they combine with chlorine to create “chloramines”: new compounds that cause everything from that unwanted “chlorine” smell to other swimmer discomforts like red eyes or a sore nose. A pool shock treatment works to eliminate this type of buildup, so your pool chemicals and chlorine can focus on fighting algae and bacteria— and less on unwanted compounds and by-products.

Not sure how much shock you need to apply? Our pool test kits can help you evaluate chlorine levels to determine the most effective ratio of swimming pool chemicals for treatment to help keep your pool water clean and crystal clear.
