Product Description

Doheny’s Super Pool Shock is our best-selling pool shock. It kills algae, bacteria, and other organic contaminants to quickly turn your pool water from cloudy to clear. Quick dissolving and fast-acting, it contains 68% calcium hypochlorite as the active ingredient to sanitize and help clear even the most contaminated pools.

This versatile granular chlorine pool shock is highly effective for your pool opening in the spring. Its 65% available chlorine gives your swimming pool a quick chlorination boost to keep your pool water crystal clear and free of contaminants throughout the swim season.

Doheny’s Super Shock for pools are sold in easy-to-use one-pound bags in quantities of 6, 12, 24, and 48 with a shelf life of up to 18 months, providing a great value for your daily chlorination and pool chemical maintenance needs. The regular dosage of our Super Shock is one bag for every 10,000 gallons of water. However, spring openings or pools that sustain extensive sunlight or have excessive algae blooms may require double or triple doses to properly sanitize pool water.

Doheny's Super Shock - 68% Calcium Hypochlorite (65% available chlorine). Our #1 selling pool shock. Kills algae, bacteria, and other harmful contaminants in your pool. Ideal to use as your primary shock treatment.

Doheny's Di-Chlor Chlorinating Shock - 99% Sodium Dichloro-S-Triazinetrione (56% available chlorine). Use in vinyl-lined, fiberglass, or color plaster pools. Great for salt and liquid chlorine pools. Can act as a 3-in-1 concentrate treatment, used as a primary sanitizer as well as a shock treatment.

Doheny's Oxidizing Shock - 42% Potassium Monopersulfate. The perfect compliment to either Super Shock or Di-Chlor Shock. Oxidizes your pool meaning that it removes everything that the shock has killed and burns off dead chlorine cells leaving your pool crystal clear and boosting active chlorine cells.

Fast Acting & Dissolves Quickly - Doheny's shock quickly boosts your pool's chlorine level. Comes in a granular formula making it easily dissolved in water.

Maximum Sanitizing Power - Destroys organic contaminants quickly and effectively. Kills algae, bacteria, and other harmful contaminants with ease.

Leaves Water Crystal Clear - Doheny's shock makes your pool go from cloudy to clear by removing harmful contaminants and dead chlorine cells.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much super pool shock should I use for my pool?

Use 1 pound of Doheny's Super Pool Shock per 10,000 gallons of pool water for routine maintenance. For green pools or algae issues, a "double" or "triple" shock might be needed.

How do I add super pool shock to my pool safely?

To safely use Doheny's Super Pool Shock, pre-dissolve the product in a clean bucket of water before slowly pouring it around the perimeter of your pool—preferably in the evening to minimize sunlight breakdown. Always handle with care, wear protective gear, and never mix with other shock or pool chemicals. Follow all instructions on the Doheny's label for safe and effective application. Remember - always add chemicals to water, not water to chemicals!

How long should I wait to swim after shocking my pool?

The waiting time depends on the type of shock used and the dosage. For standard chlorine shock, it's generally recommended to wait until the free chlorine level drops below 3 ppm, which can take anywhere from 4 to 24 hours. Always test your water before swimming. Shocking your pool at night is ideal so your pool is swim-ready in the morning!

How often should I shock my pool?

As a general rule, most pools benefit from shocking once a week, especially with regular use, high temperatures, or after heavy rain. You should also shock immediately if you notice cloudy water, algae growth, or strong chlorine odors (which indicate chloramines).

Why isn't my pool shock working effectively?

Common reasons include insufficient dosage for your pool size or problem, high cyanuric acid levels (chlorine stabilizer) that "lock up" the chlorine, very high pH, or severe algae blooms that require multiple treatments. Ensure your water is balanced before shocking for best results.
