Best Pool Shocks

This pool shock is an excellent option for those who want a chlorine cleaner to be used in a swimming pool. This cleaner is effective in killing odor-causing bacteria, so your pool water can remain pleasant to be around. This pool shock can be applied directly to your pool, and it won't fade pools with vinyl liners. It is compatible with all types of swimming pools, including gunite or saltwater ones.

This fast-dissolving pool shock provides all the help you need when it comes to pool safety to remove contaminants. It's also extremely easy to use - just apply it directly to your pool water and watch it go to work. It does the job without imbuing your pool with unpleasant chlorine smells, and can even clear up cloudy water. However, we've seen reports that this product can potentially stain liners, so be careful if your pool has one.

This particular pool shock works a little differently compared to the ones highlighted above; rather than applying it directly to your pool water, these capsules are designed to be dropped into the filter basket of the pump. Once they're placed, a single unit can treat anywhere between 7,500-20,000 gallons of water. It combats algae buildup effectively and can even turn green water into a more appealing clear/blue shade. It can be used for salt pools, as well, so you don’t have to worry about it being too harsh on the water.
