Pool Water Chemistry
What Is Pool Shock?
Pool shock is a treatment intended to oxidize contaminants, often using a chlorine product, rather than a single chemical ingredient.
Understanding the Concept
Products called shock can contain different ingredients. Some add chlorine; nonchlorine oxidizers do not replace a sanitizer residual.
Common Misunderstanding
This definition is not a dosing procedure. Product directions and water conditions determine treatment and re-entry requirements.
