Frequently Asked Questions
How much do I use to shock my pool?
As a general rule, use approximately 1 pound (0.45 kg) of Aqua Clear per 10,000 gallons (38,000 liters) of water for a standard shock treatment. Always test your water first.
Can I use this for daily chlorination?
While excellent for shocking, using it for daily chlorination can raise calcium hardness levels over time. It's best used for shocking, with stabilized chlorine tablets used for daily maintenance.
When is the best time to shock a pool?
The best time to add Aqua Clear is in the evening, after the sun has gone down. This prevents the sun's UV rays from breaking down the chlorine before it has a chance to work.
