That ladies and gentlemen is NOT how to shock any type of pool. Always dilute the powdered chlorine in a bucket of water first and then slowly pour the contents in the deep end in front of a return. If you have a variable speed pump, turn the speed at a higher setting. When shocking a salt pool, turn off (0%) or disconnect your Salt Water Chlorine Generator. If you have a heater, bypass it until your FC levels are back to an acceptable range (1-3ppm). And preferably, use liquid chlorine for salt pools. Lastly, superchlorinate function (100%) on a Salt Water Chlorine Generator will never bring up the FC levels to actually shock (kill algae) the pool.

Thanks, partner! Sounds like another good option!

You don't have to pre-mix it. Just add directly into pool water. I've been doing it that way for years with this specific shock. But I agree with removing the SWG as this shock contains Cal-Hypo, which you don't want to make contact with the generator.

@@f32_razz If you use non-calcium based shock do you still need to turn off the SWG?

Sir I came here for this comment!! This was the worst process I ever saw, using the worst product, with everything still in his pool 😂😂😂😂 and he said weekly 😂😂😂 I don’t think he’s a poop guy…

[@LearningGilmour]

@@joet7136non calcium ? I mean that means you’re not using a chlorine pool.. you can always use fresh and clear/ oxy Shock, non chlorine and can swim within 30 minutes of using… most oxy shocks are used for salt and eco smarte systems 😊

[@ScrappingNurse]

this stuff is over 50% calcium and that will just kill the salt cell - Why is he recommending this?

[@MRGREGSHOWTO]

Howdy, partner! Thanks for watching!

LOL Calcium will kill the salt cell. This is terrible advice.

[@MRGREGSHOWTO]

Howdy partner! No issues here yet, but we do keep the calcium levels in check. thanks for watching!

I'm an idiot, but this looks too easy. You yanking my chain??

[@MRGREGSHOWTO]

Nope, partner! No yanking here - it really is that easy!

[@mrjuice1669]

Saltwater pools are silly, and totally unnecessary 100%

[@MRGREGSHOWTO]

Howdy partner! Thanks for the thought. Some people definitely prefer traditional chlorine.

[@LearningGilmour]

Why are they silly? I’m a 20’year pool vet, they are better than straight chlorine but worse than a mineral pool… salt is still chlorine and soap many people don’t get that.. salt is highly corrosive as well. I do agree with you to an extent.. the biggest problem is the new state laws that don’t allow single speed pumps, these variable speed pumps are such trash in the north east.

Do you have one? I had mine for 3 years it amazing
