How do you shock a saltwater pool?
Here are some things to troubleshoot this issue:
Make sure your pool water is properly balance.
Visit a local pool store to get your water tested before shocking.
Have them check for chlorine lock or chlorine demand if they can.
Shock only at night or dusk.
Keep your filter running during the shock treatment.

Saltwater pools
don’t take care of themselves.You still have to add acid to keep the pH balanced. Just because it seems natural like the ocean — it’s not. In fact, saltwater pools have 1/10 the salt of the ocean , so they’re more like a tear drop than a good salt soak! And, while you may think that since salt is natural it’s environmentally friendly — it’s not. The salt breaks down into various components including hyrdrochloric acid or chlorine gas. Regular pools don’t have that much chlorine. So, if you drain it into your yard, that’s OK. With saltwater, you have to get a truck to suck the water out. Dumping it in your yard would seriously affect the ecosystem.

Weekly Pool Maintenance:
Remove any large accumulation of debris on the bottom with a leaf scoop.
Feed the pool with chlorine or other sanitizer to satisfy its requirements either manually or automatically.
Check that the water level is high enough for the pump to operate correctly.
Test and adjust sanitizer level (may require more frequent testing depending upon bather load and environmental conditions)
Visually inspect pool water for clarity, color and visible contaminants
Remove floating leaves
Test and adjust pH (may require more frequent testing depending upon bather load and environmental conditions)
The pH should be in the range 7.4 – 7.7 if the pool has a vinyl or tile finish. The range should be 7.3 -7.5 if the pool has a fiberglass finish. The range should be 7.4-7.6 for a gunite swimming pool. If the level is too high, then adjust it down using pH decreaser. The correct dosage is located on the label.
If the pH is too low, then add pH increaser. Again see labels for dosage. If the pH has dropped possibly so has your total alkalinity.
Don’t correct your pH more than once a week.
Test chlorine levels in the pool water:
Free chlorine levels should be between 1-3 ppm
Free bromine levels should be between 3-5 ppm
Test and adjust Alkalinity
Test and adjust Oxidizer and Stabilizer levels
Clean the tile at the water line
Check filter pressure and backwash only if required
Check water level and adjust as necessary at the prescribed rate of 1” (25mm) per hour
Add a preventative dose of algaecide as necessary
Shock the pool as per label instructions. This treatment restores the sparkle to the pool water and destroys germs and organic contaminants (can be done once every 2 weeks)
