Product Information
Full details
The Deep Blue Pro Shock Chlorine Granules are essential for hot tub, spa, and pool owners looking to maintain clear, sanitary water through an effective, fast-acting treatment. This product is ideal for regular maintenance or "shocking" the water to eliminate persistent bacteria, algae, and chloramines, though users must be careful to follow proper dosage instructions to avoid skin irritation or water clouding.

FAQs
Can I use the hot tub immediately after adding shock?
No, you should wait until chlorine levels return to the safe recommended range, usually between 1-3 ppm, before entering the water.
How often should I use these granules?
It is generally recommended to shock your pool or spa once a week, or more frequently if there has been heavy usage or extreme weather.
Do these granules affect the pH balance of my water?
Chlorine shock can cause temporary fluctuations in pH levels, so it is important to test and adjust your water chemistry after the chlorine dissipates.
Is this product safe for salt water systems?
While intended for traditional chlorine systems, you should consult your specific salt generator manual to ensure shock granules are compatible with your equipment.
How should I store this product?
Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, keeping the container upright and away from children and pets.
Troubleshooting
Water remains cloudy after treatment
Check your pH levels to ensure they are within the balanced range of 7.2 to 7.6, as pH imbalance can neutralize chlorine effectiveness.
Strong chemical odor persists
This often indicates a high level of chloramines; perform a secondary shock treatment to fully oxidize the remaining contaminants.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure safety and effectiveness, always add the granules to water rather than adding water to the granules. Ensure your pump is running to facilitate even distribution. Compatibility is broad across most standard pool and spa filtration systems, but you should always test your water parameters using test strips before and after application. Store the container in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or moisture to maintain product potency and integrity. Always keep the lid tightly sealed when not in use.
