once sulphur reducing bacteria have become established, it is very dificult to remove them. you might knock them out of the storage tank but they could be on the well pipe and pump itself.
There is chlorine shock and non chlorine shock. Fo chlorine shock, which is the normal shock, it is the same a s Chlorine but unstabilized, so it will not last in the pool very long.
Stop adding salt to the pool and use tablets and shock when needed.
You should always maintain "normal" chlorine. Shocking a pool consists of adding a large dose of pure liquid chlorine. This kills any algae (and othe rmicro-organisms). The chlorine is not stabilized, and will disspate within a day or so.
Olympic swimming pools use about 650000 gallons of water, so if you're trying to shock one using 10% liquid chlorine, you would need about 200 gallons of liquid shock - or if you're only adding choline as a primary sanitizer, not as a shock, you'd use about 65 gallons.
Baquacil makes a product called Chlorine Neurtalizer that can be used to remove the Chlorine, it may take several days for the green to filter through.
By Shock I guess you mean a packet of Chrlorine marketed as "Shock or "Shock Treatment" which is esentially just chlorine packaged at a higfher price. Any ususal powdered or liquied chlorine will do the same job except those that are Di chlor or tri chlor. No need to turn of the salt chlorinator at all.
No, pool shock is normally a really strong chlorine and stabilizer is like sunscreen for the chlorine
Simple one actually. You use Potassium Monopersulfate, more commonly known as Non-Chlorine Shock. Applied to the pool at the rate of 2 lbs. Per 10,000 gal.. Repeat daily for 2 to 3 days and there you go. Chlorine neutralized. Sorry, I can't agree with that answer. Potassium monopersulfate is a non chlorine shock used to oxidize chloramines. If you have too high levels of chlorine in your pool you can neutralize some by adding sodium thyosulfate.
Just shock it to break point and your at free chlorine.
Salt generators make the same chemical, sodium hypochlorite, that you buy at the store. The major difference is that it costs a lot more to make than to buy it. See other posts I have made in this arena for more info.A salt water pool IS a chlorine pool. Period! IF it needs shocking you shock it the same way as any chlorine pool, by adding more chlorine either by manually adding it or setting the SWCG to the boost or shock setting.
After non-chlorine shock there is not any waiting time for swimming. Though it is still best to add it in at night, you could add anytime and swim right away.
No liquid shock is more concentrated
