When & How to Shock Your Pool | Pool Chemistry 101 Made Easy

How To Shock A Swimming Pool #poolchemistry101 #clearpoolguide #shockyourpool Are you shocking your pool too often-or not enough? Let’s break it down! In this video, I cover how to shock your pool, when you actually need to, and why the advice to shock weekly might be costing you more than it should. Please visit my website to get more information: https://www.chlorinekingpools.com/ Pool shock isn’t a magic product-it’s an action that raises chlorine levels to eliminate combined chlorine, algae, and bacteria. I explain why calcium hypochlorite (cal-hypo) is my preferred pool shock and when you should use it-like after heavy rain, big pool parties, or extreme heat. We’ll also talk about pool chemistry basics, including free chlorine levels, combined chlorine, and seasonal tips for both summer and winter.
