How to Use

How to Use

Why You Should Use This Product: HTH Pool Care Shock is an effective calcium hypochlorite (cal‑hypo) shock designed for weekly pool treatment. It helps kill bacteria and algae, clears cloudy water, and restores visible water clarity without adding cyanuric acid (CYA), which can contribute to chlorine lock.

Before Use: Test pool water and adjust total alkalinity and pH before application. Always add chemicals separately and keep the pump running.

Application Instructions

Use the entire contents of the bag once opened. Do not use this product in a floater or feeder.

Add this product during evening hours while the pump is running. Broadcast evenly over a wide area of the pool, preferably in the deepest part.

If any granules settle on the pool floor, brush to disperse until fully dissolved. Undissolved granules may bleach or damage pool surfaces.

Do not enter the pool until free available chlorine levels return to 1–4 ppm.

Weekly Shock Treatment

For routine pool maintenance or to address dull or cloudy water, shock the pool once per week.

Add 1 bag of this product per 12,500 gallons of pool water.

Algae Control

For visible algae, apply the recommended shock dosage as close to algae growth as possible. Brush algae areas immediately after treatment and repeat shock treatment if algae persists.
