Hello,

With a 8600 abg pool my numbers are:

FC - 3.5
TC- 4.5
CC - 1.0
CYA- 48
TA- 140
PH - 7.4

My water is crystal clear, and no obvious problems. Looks like I might need to shock, since my pool gets all day sunlight and quite a bit of usage from 2 adults and 2 kids. I have some non chlorine oxidizer shock that reads:

active ingredient:
potassium monopersulfate....44.7 %
Inert ingredients....................55.3 %
Percent active oxygen............4.7 %

The label says it will clear up combined chloramides and other wastes. I didn't buy this stuff, it came with my pool start up kit.

I'm thinking this won't substitute for regular chlorine shocking, but I'm wondering if it will hurt anything putting in my pool, or exactly what's it's purpose is?

thanks
