Shock Treatment is a larger dosage of chlorine sufficient to bring the free available chlorine level up to 10ppm. This is intended to control visible algae, burn out organic wastes and destroy excess "Chloramines". These chloramines can be responsible for strong chlorine odors and eye irritation. The use of SHOCK, periodically with your chlorination routine, will aid in prevention of undesirable side affects. DO NOT resume swimming until chlorine residual drops below 3.0 ppm.
Super-Chlorination is the addition of an extra dose of chlorine to bring the free available chlorine level to 5ppm. This will restore its ability to control algae and bacteria. Some algae spores can become immune to small regular doses. Super chlorination is recommended weekly when temperature is over 90o, your pool has high bather use, long periods of rain or high winds carrying debris and dirt.
