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.

Shocking your pool is easier than it may seem. In this video, we go over the different types of pool shock, what their benefits are, and when to use them.
