    Disadvantages of MPS shock:
    1 it is expen$ive
    2 it is only an oxidizer and not a sanitizer
    3 it will show up as CC on a DPD or FAS-DPD test unless you use a special test kit (additional expen$e)
    4 it can convert chloramines to nitrates which are algae food
    5 it is expen$ive
    6 see number 4!
    7 it seems to work better with bromine than chlorine (but chlorine is STILL a better shock for bromine)
    8 see number 2
    9 it is expen$ive
    10 see number 3

    Advantages of MPS Shock:
    1 They have cute names like Oxy-Brite, Blitz, and Renew
