Following chemical treatment, how long do I have to wait before I use my pool?

With the exception of superchlorinating (which requires waiting until the chlorine level drops to recommended levels), you can generally use your pool when the chemical is dispersed throughout the pool. Fifteen minutes to one hour is a good rule of thumb.

I'm looking for pool shock to sanitize my drinking water. Will this work?

I have heard of people using pool shock to sanitize drinking water but I can not promote the use of any pool shock for this purpose. You will want to contact the NSF for further information.

I constantly have an algae build up around my pool steps. All my levels seem to be in range. Is there something I'm missing?

I would recommend aiming the return fitting downward and towards the steps. This should help circulate the water around the steps better. I would also recommend brushing down the pool and using a chlorine shock.

How soon after shocking can I go into the pool?

I would recommend shocking the pool in the evening, the pump and filter should run all night. You should be able to resume swimming the following day as long as the chlorine is within an acceptable range (2-4 ppm).

I shocked my pool this morning, how long do I have to wait before i can swim?

When you shock the pool, you want to do so in the evening time and let the filter run over night. After shocking, it is recommended to wait at least 10-12 hours. You will want to test the chlorine level to ensure that it has fallen back to within range (3-5 ppm).

What is the best way to add Chlor-Burst shock to my swimming pool
Reply
I would recommend adding Chlor-Burst to a bucket of pool water to pre-dissolve it and then pouring it along the perimeter of the pool.

Why do I need to add shock to my swimming pool every week?

Chlorine tablets alone are not enough to keep the water sanitized. Pool shock helps to oxidize the water as well as breakdown chloramines.

Is liquid shock or granular shock stronger?
Reply
If you look at the labels of both products, you will find that liquid shock is weaker. The bottle has vented caps (to vent chlorine gas) so the longer it sits on a shelf, the weaker it gets. Granular shock is a lot stronger and does not lose its strength as long as it's stored properly.
