If your water’s cloudy, green, or just smelling a little off, it might be time to shock your pool—especially in the Florida heat where chlorine burns off fast and algae loves to party.

What Is Pool Shocking?
Shocking means adding a high dose of chlorine or oxidizer to kill bacteria, break down contaminants, and reset your water chemistry.

When to Shock:
✅After heavy pool use (like a party or big swim weekend)
✅After rainstorms or flooding (common in FL summers)
✅If the water turns green or cloudy
✅If chlorine levels are low or there’s a strong chlorine smell
✅Every 1–2 weeks during hot weather as part of regular maintenance

How to Shock Your Pool:
Test your water first to know your starting levels

  • Choose the right shock—calcium hypochlorite is most common
  • Add shock at dusk or night (sun breaks down chlorine fast)
  • Pre-dissolve it in a bucket of water if required (follow the label)
  • Pour it evenly around the pool with the pump running
  • Wait at least 8 hours (ideally overnight) before swimming again

Pro tip: Never mix different types of shock or store them together—they can be dangerously reactive.

Not sure what type of shock to use, or dealing with stubborn algae? My Pool Repairs offers expert water balancing and emergency clean-up services across Central Florida.

A fun one we got to quote from two days ago! 👀💦

By My Pool Repairs • November 21, 2025
This home has been vacant for a little over six months — long enough for the pool water to turn almost black, tadpoles to move in, and the entire equipment setup to be disconnected or removed! We priced out a full equipment overhaul plus an acid wash to get this pool back in shape fast […]
