Brand: Doheny's
Swimming pool shock treatments are an essential aspect of spring pool opening but should also be used to give your pool a quick chlorine boost. Super Shock is the most popular and versatile pool shock treatment available that is used to kill algae and bacteria and remove micro-contaminants that make pool water cloudy. Use Super Shock to kill visible algae blooms and invisible bacteria, which could cause illness to swimmers. Your daily chlorination of the pool will kill most pathogenic bacteria, viruses and microbes, however to be sure that the water is sanitary, it is good practice to 'shock the pool', or super-chlorinate the pool every week. Shocking your pool eliminates any contaminants in the water, especially the invisible germs that may be harboring in the water. It is also smart to "Oxidize" your pool water on a weekly basis with Oxidizing shock. "Oxidizing" your pool water on a weekly basis burns off "chloramines" - or spent chlorine cells - allowing the newly introduced chlorine to work at 100% efficiency. It also eliminates all of the contaminants that your chlorine and chlorine based shock have killed in the pool water - helping ensure a safe, clear pool!
