When should I shock with chlorine?
DuPont Oxone®If you use products containing Oxone® regularly and follow a recommended pool care program, you shouldn't need to conduct chlorine shocking at all. If your pool has been left untended for a long period of time, if chlorine residuals have not been maintained, or if algae growth is significant, it may be necessary to use chlorine shocking to kill algae and restore water quality.
Related QuestionsWhen I shock my pool, should I use chlorine or non-chlorine shock?
Swimming Pool Frequently Asked QuestionsBoth treatments accomplish the goal of destroying and removing bather waste and preventing the formation of combined chlorine. Superchlorination, the addition of large amounts of chlorine, has some drawbacks. Because it requires large amounts of chlorine, it can damage liners and swimsuits and upset water balance. Additionally, it is difficult to determine proper dosage amounts and it requires swimmers to wait until the level of chlorine drops, often a day or more, until they can swim.
Related QuestionsWhat is non-chlorine shock?
DuPont Oxone®A non-chlorine oxidizing agent such as Oxone® eliminates organic contaminants without raising chlorine levels or producing the harsh, irritating combined chlorine compounds known as chloramines. When done on a weekly basis, this type of shocking or oxidation is known as preventive shock treatment.

ZAP•FAQSit down, if you’re not already sitting or lying down! If the first shock doesn’t correct the problem you may receive another. You want to avoid further injury as you may fall onto something. Your doctor should have given you instructions on how to proceed. Generally, if you have received multiple shocks they will want to see you immediately. If you have a single shock and you feel fine, you should still give your EP office a call.

What is anaphylactic shock?
FAQ's - Allergy-MDAnaphylactic shock is a life-threatening allergic reaction. Symptoms can include swelling in the mouth and throat, wheezing, difficulty breathing, hives, fainting, and drop in blood pressure. This is caused by the cells in the body releasing large amounts of histamines into the blood. This type of reaction is rare and can be caused by allergic reactions to foods, medications, or insect stings. Anaphylactic shock is a medical emergency and can cause death if not treated immediately.

Related QuestionsWhy not chlorine?
Ozone Generator, Ozone Air Purifier, Ozone Water Purifier, D...Pool and spa water treatment with chlorine and other halogen disinfectants (bromine) require maintaining a residual concentration of at least 1 to 3 PPM (Part Per Million) in water. The effectiveness of the use of these chemicals is controlled by many variables: pH, dissolved solids, temperature and halogen concentrations. Under EPA urging, most municipalities now restrict the from dispensing and storage of chlorine.

Why use shock absorbers?
Isaac - FAQShock absorbers work based on velocity, not position. The higher the velocity the stiffer they get. When do you have high head velocity? When you crash. The shocks don't care where your head is when you crash, they are just along for the ride. But when you crash they become almost solid. (Go to top)

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions - NHIThe medical term for the very onerous sounding "shock fall out" is "effluvium" which literally means shedding. It is usually the miniaturized hair i.e. the hair that is at the end of its lifespan due to genetic balding that is most likely to be shed. Less likely, some healthy hair will be shed, but this should regrow. Rarely, but sometimes, we notice some shedding of hair from a prior transplant when transplants are spaced less than one year apart. However, this hair grows back completely.

Related QuestionsMy pool has a very strong chlorine odor. Is there too much chlorine in my pool?
Swimming Pool Frequently Asked QuestionsNo, you don't have enough "free chlorine" in your pool. Most pools contain both good chlorine and bad chlorine. The good chlorine is called free chlorine and is capable of killing germs. Bad chlorine, on the other hand, is called "combined chlorine" and is a poor germ killer. Too much combined chlorine in your pool causes the strong chlorine odor. When the combined chlorine level reaches 0.2 ppm or more, it is time to shock your water. Shocking will eliminate the odor.
Related QuestionsIs there chlorine in chlorine dioxide?
FAQ about Portable Water FiltersNo, there is no chlorine in chlorine dioxide. Although chlorine dioxide has the word chlorine in its name, the two chemicals have completely different chemical structures. The additional oxygen atom radically changes the molecule and creates completely different chemical behaviors and by-products. Their differences are as profound as those between hydrogen, the explosive gas, and hydrogen combined with oxygen, which creates dihydrogen oxide-commonly called water.

Related QuestionsWhy do I need to shock my pool?
Swimming Pool Frequently Asked QuestionsPool water composition always includes some undesirable elements that actually contaminate the water and reduce the efficiency of the disinfectant or sanitizer. Material such as hair spray, suntan oil, cosmetics, perspiration and other organic material react to combine with the chlorine in the water to form "combined chlorine". Once "combined chlorine" forms, it acts as a very poor disinfectant, contributing to eye and skin irritations and the forming of unpleasant chlorine odor.
