Hey everybody welcome to swimuniversity.com. My name is matt javanese and today we're going to show you how to shock your swimming pool. Now, what you're going to need is a few things to get started. First, a bucket second pool shock third rubber gloves.
Fourth, some protective eyewear and finally, a stirring stick before you shock your pool. You want to practice safety first. That means you want to wear goggles. You want to wear gloves, and you want to wear clothes that you don't really care about, because we're going to be dealing with shock, which has a high concentrated amount of chlorine in it, which, if it splashes on you, it can bleach your clothes.
Okay. Now that we have the shock all mixed up and pre-dissolved in the bucket we're going to go, pour it around the entire pool. Now you want to make sure that your pool is on and you really want to shock your pool at night or dusk right now. It's the middle of the day, so we're just going to have to make do.
But when you do shock your pool, you want to shock it at night or dusk and let it run for eight hours overnight. So let's pour the shock inside the pool. So that's it all you want to do. Is you want to pre-dissolve each bag in a bucket of water? That means water first, then put in the shock mix it up with a stick and then pour it around your pool.
You want to do this with one bag of shock per 10, 000 gallons of water or one pound per 10, 000 gallons of water, and you also want to do it at night. You can just visit our website, which is swimuniversity.com, and thanks for watching you.
Why at night ?
Awesome 😎. My pool is GREEN! 🤢 Are you in Ottawa ?
Why at night?????? Service area Nepean??
What if i put to much shock in the pool? What should i do? Pls help me its been 2 days but still cloudy maybe because i put to much shock in the pool
How will happen if I put more chemicals plus shock in the water at the same time. ?
Can it be any type of shock??
Hi sweets can you tell me if I could pour through my cover without staining cover because not opening up pool yet need more time I’m up north east of the country.
So I've shocked my pool twice now…high chlorine when I go to bed but I wake up in the morning and none…what gives
I use this method and it takes to the water way better.
If you have one 5 gallon bucket of shock, how much scoops do you put in the 5 gal bucket of water? I have a scooper Are you in Nepean ?
I have a question for anyone. Can’t find any info online and I’m a new pool owner. When shocking the pool, do you need to turn off an automatic chlorinator or remove a floating chlorinator while doing it? Is it ok to shock with whatever your normal chlorination method is still going? Any help truly appreciated.
Hi! I have dead algae in the bottom of my pool, and can't get it out. My pool is crystal clear, and then i will walk around in it, and the algae disperses and causes the water to get cloudy. I've shocked my pool a bunch using hth shock, and still have my chlorine tabs floating around. (my pool is a 13' round summer waves easy setup)
What about a salt water pool? A guest at my hotel took a crap and I just had it open first time in 3 months. Going to back splash it and shock it in the morning. Do I still pre dissolve with a salt water system? Or just directly dump the 1 pound bag In the pool, and how long exactly until I can safely say they can return Are you in Kanata ?
I use a chlorine autofeeder, should I turn it off while shocking the pool? Service area Barrhaven??
A pond, or a pool. The pond would be good for you….
Do you have to get out the chlorine tablets before using the shock? Or can you leave it
How much shock for a 16×48 pool? Roughly 5000gallons of water
Is it okay to add the shock through the skimmer while the filter system is running on the re-circulate position while adding the pool shock.?
When i add the shock, which settting should my filter be on? recirculation or filtration?
Is household bleach the same thing?
When I shock it..should filter setting be on recirculating? Or filtration
Good man
Pump on or off
Rubber gloves and goggles ehhh. Been shocking pools since I was in grade 4. Ain’t nobody got time for that… sunglasses maybe. I’m joe cool not joe pool Service area Ottawa??
On the bag it says not to pre-desolve or to do exactly what you are doing 🤔
How much shock do you put in a 1,185 gallon pool?
Can u/ do u ever put shock directly in the skimmer??
What’s the name of the song in this video sorry
these videos are not explaining why it has to be done is more of how so , not so much of a university if it doest have full information
Who actually wears goggles?
Nice video but why at night? Please explain.
I just bought a home with an above ground pool and this channel has absolutely saved the day. You guys are great, and myself and my family are VERY appreciative of what you've done here! Super clear and concise, very easy to follow having never owned/operated a swimming pool in my life! Thank you!
Thought you are never ever supposed to pour shock into a bucket with water . thought its always spose go right into pool ??
Great video!! I have a question: Could you tell me about the long-term effects of algae, leaves and other organic matter left on the vermiculite underneath a new vinyl pool liner?
my pool calculator said to only use have a pound. what do i do with the other half a bag???
So is chlorine tablets or shock better
I’m in Texas with a salt water pool and we use Leslie’s salt compatible pool shock bags.
They say just cut bag open and pour in and it’s done.
I don’t get this video- maybe because it’s not salt water??
But if the shock says don’t desolve
Tell it a dirty joke.
I'm shocked this guy pre dissolved
Don't pre disolve
Someone told me don't the Shocker directly in the skimmer vacuum
Wow no wonder it bleached out the liner. We do it wrong. Are you in Orleans ?
do you add pool shock daily? or ounce a week? Service area Kanata??
What-or
must i brush the algee off the walls before i put shock it inside
It's much easier to take the filter cartridge out… Reassemble your filtration system without the filter. Take the shock packets and dump them into the skimmer next to the pool let the jets do the work for about 3 minutes. Then replace the filter. That's how I add in most chemicals except calcium chloride……
Grandular shock specifically says, "Do not pre-disolve".
Lmfao lame loser pool boy
