Yes, you can shock a pool that uses Baquacil, but it requires special attention. Standard chlorine shock treatments cannot be used, as they can react negatively with Baquacil, which is a non-chlorine sanitizer. Instead, you should use a non-chlorine shock specifically designed for Baquacil systems to effectively manage water clarity and sanitation without causing damage. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when shocking a Baquacil pool.
