Trusted Waters
Answer: Once a week
Explanation: During peak swimming season (typically summer or when the pool is in frequent use), you should shock your pool about once every 1-2 weeks, but this can vary depending on several factors such as pool usage, water clarity, algae growth, heavy rain or wind, and high pool temperature.
Cabana Pool Service
Answer: Once a week
Explanation: During peak season, it's recommended to shock your pool once a week. You may need to shock more often if there’s heavy use, a rainstorm, or signs of algae or cloudy water. Shocking helps break down contaminants, restore water clarity, and ensure sanitizer effectiveness. Regular shocking is especially important in hotter months when bacteria and algae growth are more likely. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for your specific shock treatment.
