How often should you shock your pool? 🤔💦
One of the most common questions we hear is: “How often should I shock my pool?” The answer depends on how often your pool is used, the weather, and your water chemistry—but as a general rule, most pools benefit from shocking about once a week during the swimming season.
You may also need to shock your pool:
✔️ After heavy rainfall
✔️ Following a pool party or heavy swimmer load
✔️ If the water looks cloudy
✔️ When algae starts to appear
✔️ If chlorine levels are struggling to stay balanced
Regular shocking helps eliminate contaminants, restore water clarity, and keep your pool safe and inviting all summer long.
