Owning a pool comes with the responsibility of keeping it clean and safe for swimmers. One essential aspect of pool maintenance is shock treatment, a process that involves adding a high concentration of chemicals to the water to eliminate bacteria, algae, and other contaminants, as well as to break up chloramines (spent/useless chlorine). However, with various types of pool shock available, choosing the right one can be confusing. Our Pool Pros have written a guide where we'll explore the differences between the three common types of pool shock: calcium hypochlorite shock, di-chlor shock, and oxidizing shock.
