Shocking Run pump?

[DavidD]

I would run the pump until there is no need to shock. If you are worried, don't guess, test.

I am shocking because we have had a ton of rain lately (It added nearly 4 inches this week) and a lot of debris in the pool. My cc is at .5 or less and my residual chlorine has been 3 or better even after rains. While swimming Monday I noticed that the liner was not as squeaky clean as it has been all summer. I decided that it would be a good idea to shock just to make sure everything stays nice and sparkly. I tried a few days last week with all the rain to ramp up the chlorine to maintain a 5 or 6ppm residual but afternoon thunderstorms would not let that happen. I test my water every day.

I usually just run mine for a couple of hours after I shock it, to mix the chlorine well, then shut it off.
