Shock Treatments

A pool shock treatment is recommended when you see your pool in a condition that is far from satisfactory for swimming. Maybe you are lagging behind your regular schedule of pool maintenance, or your pool was used extensively for several days. These conditions leave behind organic waste and contamination, which bind to chlorine molecules and render them inactive. Correcting this involves performing a shock treatment, whereby large quantities of chlorine (typically about 5-10 times the usual dose) are added to a pool based on the condition of the pool. This superchlorination will help remove organic matter and other contaminants, leaving behind water that is clear, soft, clean and safe for swimming.
