Frequently Asked Questions about Liquid Pool Shock
With so many sanitizer options available on the market today, it can be hard to choose which one is best for you. Here are some of the answers to common questions about liquid pool shock.
How much liquid chlorine is needed to shock a pool?
The amount of liquid chlorine needed to shock a pool depends on the pool's size and current chlorine levels. As a general guideline, for a typical pool of 10,000 gallons, you may need 1 to 1.5 gallons of liquid chlorine.
How do I shock a pool with liquid chlorine?
To shock a pool with liquid chlorine, first ensure the pump is running. Pour the recommended amount of liquid chlorine evenly around the pool's perimeter, especially around deep areas.
Let the pump circulate the water for at least 8 hours, and avoid swimming until chlorine levels return to a safe range, ideally between 1-3 ppm.
Remember: Keeping your pH level balanced is crucial to ensure that the liquid chlorine is able to do its job! As pH level rises, all forms of chlorine become less and less effective.

How much liquid shock should I add to a 15,000-gallon pool?
For a 15,000-gallon pool, you’ll generally need 1.5 to 2 gallons of liquid chlorine. This may vary depending on chlorine levels, algae presence, and other factors. A pool shock calculator can help determine the exact amount based on your pool's specific needs.
Liquid vs. Powder Pool Shock: Which is Better?
Liquid chlorine acts fast and is easy to apply, but it needs to be stored safely due to its high strength. Powdered shock (usually calcium hypochlorite) dissolves slowly, making it ideal for gradual chlorine addition. The choice depends on your pool's needs, convenience, and budget.
