Chlorine SHOCK Granules 5kg

Unstabilized calcium Hyochlorite.

Chlorine Shock Dosing Instructions (Pool: Shock Treatment)

• Once a fortnight or more often in hot weather, boost your chlorine level using the shock granules.
• Add 500 grams (1 bag) (1 scoop = 100 grams) per 45 cubic metres (10,000 gallons) of pool water.
• The granules are dissolved in a bucket of warm water and distributed around the pool or poured into the skimmer basket. Make sure your skimmer basket is free from all other types of chlorine before pouring it in.
• At the start of the summer season or when algae is present it may be necessary to increase the dosage.
• Adjust the pH to between 7.2-7.6.
• Keep the filter free of debris and allow the water to circulate overnight. Allow the available chlorine level to drop below 3ppm before entering the pool. If this takes too long excess chlorine can be removed using a chlorine reducer Dechlorinator

DO NOT MIX UNSTABILISED CHLORINE WITH ANY STABILISED CHLORINE AS IT WILL EXPLODE

Chemical Storage

1. Minimize the different types of chemicals you store.
2. Don't buy more than you will consume in a season. Some of the more hazardous pool chemicals don't keep well.
3. Keep wet hands and dirty scoops out of your chemicals. Contamination is often a cause of problems.
4. Don't store pool chemicals where other materials can fall into them.
5. Never, NEVER, NEVER, mix chemicals. When adding chemicals to your pool allow one to disappear before adding another.
6. Use gloves and glasses.
7. Make sure chemicals are locked away from small children.
8. Always label containers
9. ALL forms of acids react DANGEROUSLY with all forms of chlorine or bromine. Never, never, NEVER mix swimming pool chemicals of any type! Chlorine compounds that look or smell alike may not be the same: you have to know the actual chemical. Allowing even small amounts of different chlorine sanitizers to touch each other can be REALLY dangerous. In particular, trichlor and calcium hypochlorite can react dangerously on contact with each other. Once they're dissolved in the pool, though, they get along fine.
