- Always Shock at night (sunlight burns off more chlorine, so it will work better at night)

- Pre-Dissolve all shock. Some won’t require you to but do it anyway, it spreads it around better and it won’t sink to the bottom of your pool possibly bleaching your liner

- Use gloves, you can never be too safe using pool shock.

- Wear clothes you don’t like. Chances are a little shock water will splash on you, it will bleach your shirt.

- Allow your swimming pool to run for at least 8 hours straight after adding shock.

- Do not swim in shocked water for 12 hours. Let the shock do it’s job and let the chlorine drop down before swimming.
