I know there is a lot of variables, but on average with normal operation and assuming you keep ahead of the pool with a residual, how often do you shock?
How often do you shock "poll"
I know there is a lot of variables, but on average with normal operation and assuming you keep ahead of the pool with a residual, how often do you shock?
Re: How often do you shock "poll"
When CC gets above .5
I do put a little extra bleach in the pool right after a heavy bather load though, but not up to "shock" levels.

Re: How often do you shock "poll"
Usually 3 times a year. About a six month operating season.
Typically:
Opening
Pre or Post vacation
Closing
+ If some unusual biological event comes up, like a large child swimmer load, dead animal etc.
I did not shock on opening this year because I opened it early due to 80 degree weather in early April.
Re: How often do you shock "poll"
I only shock if I have CC. I haven't had any CC in over a year, so I haven't shocked.

Well, technically aren't you shocking continuously?
Re: How often do you shock "poll"
I never shock unless CC gets up.
Re: How often do you shock "poll"
Only when the cc gets above .5 (hasn't in the last two years)(indoor pool) or if a child has a "poop" accident. I do double dose after a kids swim part to make sure but usually not above about 4ppm.
Re: How often do you shock "poll"
I 'shocked' once last season, and haven't yet this year. Of course, using just bleach for chlorination.

Re: How often do you shock "poll"
Yup, that is true. The Cl levels in the cell are high enough to acheive breakpoint. but, the same still holds true: if I don't have any CCs I don't shock. My pool doesn't turn green, so no reason there. If I get mustard, high Cl won't help it (been there, done that) so out comes the polyquat.You and your SWG don't count.

However, when using bleach, I usually hovered around 0.5 CC. Never bothered to shock to get rid of it. Tried once and it seems I didn't go high enough, so it stayed the same.

Re: How often do you shock "poll"
Hope its not inappropriate to ask this in this thread. I know you shock to get rid of CC and bather waste, but is it just "pool store hype" that you should shock every week? It really threw me for a loop to find how little you guys shock.
Thanks
