Directions of Use
Step 1: Test Your Water - Test your pool's pH and chlorine levels before applying. Ensure pH is between 7.2–7.6 for maximum effectiveness of the shock treatment.
Step 2: Calculate & Dissolve - Add 150–200g per 10,000 litres of pool water. For green or heavily contaminated pools, increase to 300g. Dissolve granules in a bucket of water before applying.
Step 3: Apply & Wait - Distribute the solution evenly around the pool at dusk with the pump running. Wait 8–12 hours and retest before swimming.
