Shocking your Pool

​

---

Why you Shock
When combined chlorines rise you get chloramines. Chloramines are what give you that "chlorine smell", irritated eyes and skin irritation. Shocking adds more chlorine to oxidize (burn up), the wastes that make the water cloudy, and the "free up" the combined chlorines.

​When to Shock
- ​When the water gets cloudy or hazy.
​- You have a large bather loader.
- After a rain or wind storm, because they carry organic matter into the pool.

Keep your pool clean and algae-free
