Swimming Pool Shock Treatment
When diagnosing swimming pool water problems it is important to consider all available indicators in order to determine the best approach. Swimming pool water testers can help determine the most appropriate water treatment.
Shocking a pool involves using specially formulated chemical treatments that will oxidise and break down unwanted material in the pool. Your swimming pool may need shock dosing if:
- There is a green Algae in the water
- The pool water has gone cloudy
- The pool has not been treated with a sanitiser for a period of time
You must ensure that your pump and water filtration systems are clean and fully operational before commencing the treatment. Contact us for advice on the correct treatment for your pool and read the manufacturers advice before applying. The amount of shock treatment needed depends largely upon the size of your pool. When applying water treatment you should use your pool skimmer to ensure that it is distributed throughout the water.
After applying the shock treatment the pool water must be tested to ensure that pH and Chlorine/Bromine levels are safe before using the pool.
