Why do I need to shock my swimming pool?

Please remember that water and electricity are a deadly combination and do not mix. Use any of the information contained herein AT YOUR OWN RISK.

We will not be held liable for any injuries that may result from the troubleshooting advice or installation of any electrical components in your hot tub spa unit.

 

 
Remember this is only a guide (and the video) but gives you a good overview...
 
Shocking the pool rids it of unwanted organics called Combined Chlorine or Chloramines.
 
They are the overpopulation of dust, pollen, urine, sweat, hair, insects, leaves and a dozen other types of organic matter that is always found in your pool. When you have this high concentration of organics you will usually experience a strong chlorine-like odour at the pool. 
 
This is not chlorine you are smelling, it is ammonia and nitrogen resulting from the partial decomposition of this matter.
 
The problem is that there is just not enough chlorine available at normal levels to oxidise this matter so we are going to add some. This is called shocking or super chlorination.
 

Here are our Shock chemicals
