A sparkling, safe, and clean swimming pool results from well-balanced water chemistry. Regular pool maintenance, shocking, and care ensures the waters stay sanitary and hygienic.

How can we destroy dangerous microbes in the pool waters?

Adding chlorine and chemicals to the pool keeps the water clean and destroys dangerous contaminants and stops the growth of bacteria. Pool shocking is done by adding certain chemicals or chlorine in recommended quantities to wipe out microbes, and this is a compulsory part of necessary pool treatment. Pool water chemistry balancing helps keep the pool water safe and is essential to owning a pool and supplies.

Pool shocking for safe swimming sessions:

Dirt, leaves, debris, and other sediments, including makeup and skin oils, build up in the pool over time. Pool shock and pool cleaning services will ensure the contaminants are broken down and neutralized so the water is safe for swimming.

The pool waters need to be balanced and kept clear always. Thus, it’s important to get the water evaluated and tested every week so the correctly calculated quantity of chlorine can be added to keep the water safe and hygienic.

When is pool shock essential?

Pool shock becomes necessary after a very windy day, parties and get-togethers, extreme weather conditions, excessive swimming sessions, thunderstorms, etc. Chemicals are added to the water to increase the quantity of chlorine so that the water is sanitized and the bacteria, contaminants, and algae are kept at bay.

A super-concentrated chlorine dose or a water sanitizer is added to the pool to kill the germs. It’s always better to hire professionals to take care of maintenance issues. Pool shocking and many other treatments, such as pool acid wash service, are scheduled to keep the pool water, floor, and walls clean and shining.  With a pool shock, the pool waters are over-treated with excessive chlorine.

Neutralize the contaminants with pool shock:

Cloudy pool waters indicate it’s dirty. The water must be cleaned because it can develop bacterial growth and algae over time.  Pool owners must be committed to the sanitation of their water bodies or risk not being able to use your pool.

The pool is ready for people only if it is free from debris and contaminants. The contaminants in the water need neutralizing, which can be done by periodic pool shocking. Contacting professionals and organizing regular pool maintenance to keep the pools spruced up for fun and enjoyment is the best way to do it.

Check the equipment regularly:

Besides this, it is imperative to monitor and rectify the damaged pool equipment and filtration system so that the water can be cleaned regularly. The water chemistry needs to be balanced, and regular pool stain removal arranged so that the pool plaster and tiles also shine with cleanliness. Vacuuming the pool and brushing the grime and dirt that settles in between crevices and tiles will reduce the chances of needing to shock your pool.

Pool shock- every week or alternate week:

Shock treatments are a part of the daily maintenance and are done with powerful pool sanitizers every week or second week, according to need. Spills, storms, parties, or other unexpected events need cleaning up.

After a pool party, debris, urine, leaves, dirt, oil, sweat, makeup, and sunscreen can cause havoc with pool sanitization. These give rise to harmful organic matter, sediments, and bacterial growth that affects the purity of the water.

Pool shock for algae removal:

What if the water turns green overnight because of a lack of chlorine? The green color is due to algae propagation. Algae, an aquatic plant, thrive on sunlight and are food for bacteria. The pool must be scrubbed free from microbes and then the blooms vacuumed away so it doesn’t come back.

The algae are removed once the pool is shocked, and the steps to make the water contaminant-free commence. The pool experts can decide on the pool shock treatment according to the pool setup, pool needs, and budget as a part of the pool maintenance service.

On average, pool shock in one or two weeks is recommended for most people, and shocking the pool after outdoor gatherings or a pool party is also advised to keep the waters safe and healthy for swimming. After a severe weather bout, water discoloration, cloudiness, or smell coming from the water, you must add chlorine in recommended quantities to the pool.

Contact Finn’s Pool Services to test, balance, and shock the water to keep it sanitized and safe for swimming purposes after carefully analyzing its size and depth.

Pools need special care at all times. The alkalinity, pH levels, calcium hardness, etc, affect the amount of chlorine that must be added to the pool, so pool chemistry balancing becomes necessary before pool shock is undertaken. The pool needs special care and proper pool repair, especially when it opens after a long time or after long winter months.
