The word “shock” is not one that usually conjures up nice thoughts. When mentioned with water, it seems almost disastrous. However, when talking about maintaining your pool’s water, shock is an essential chemical process that should be performed periodically.

Now before you go out and do something life-threatening, shocking your pool actually has nothing to do with electricity and everything to do with a one-pound bag that is designed to help keep your pool clean.

These powerful bags are one of the biggest secrets to ensuring your pool will be a hit during the swimming season. Things like swimmers, sunlight and rain tend to deplete chlorine’s ability to sanitize a pool.

This is where Shock comes in. This item oxidizes these contaminates and then replenishes the chlorine level inside of the pool. This process is actually able to restore the chlorine’s effectiveness and helps make it safer to swim.

The truth of the matter is that it is actually usually not the fault of too much chlorine in the pool when there are noxious odors, eye burning and skin irritations. Rather these things seem to occur more often when there is not enough chlorine.

This is why Shock is such a vital part of your swimming pool. By using it you will be able to better take care of your pool and also be able to help keep those who are using it happy and healthy.

Shock should be used approximately once a week during those busy swimming periods of the year. It can be used less when the pool is not being used as much.
