Shocking the pool

By making this post I am in no way excepting liability for actions that may occur, I always reccomend having an expert treat your pool with chemicals, regardless....

I'm always being asked how much shock to use in an A.G. pool because of the various sizes.
I'll make it easy
15' pool 1-2 lbs

12x24 pool 2-3 lbs

18' pool 2-3 lbs

15x24 pool 2-3 lbs

21' pool 3-4 lbs

15x30 pool 3-4 lbs

24' pool 3-4 lbs

18x33 pool 4-5 lbs

27' pool 4-5 lbs

18x45 pool 6-7 lbs

30' pool 6-7 lbs

21x41 pool 7-8 lbs

33' pool 9-10 lbs

Recommendation: Do not add shock directly to the water.
Either dissolve in a pail of water or add slowly through the skimmer.

Note: Do not mix shock with Trichloro-s-triazinetrione (stabilized chlorine tablets). An explosion may occur!!

Note: Biguanide treated pools will require different chemical treatments.
