Pool Shock

[gwheels]

Anyone use pool shock to maintain sterile in their water systems?

 

[Turpman]

Yes. Can’t really say it’s the for sure answer. But I use it.

 

[Turpman]

I mix 1.4g in 1L for a stock solution.
Then 1mil/L to treat@1ppm.My shock is 65%

 

[Heathenraider]

just use 5 AND 20 MICRON RO filters and UV Sterilizer and once a month drop a chlorine puck in the cistern .

You use the "Zappit" brand cal shock @ 65%?

 

[Turpman]

Aquarius.

Aquarius.

Does it carry any affect on pH when you use it?

 

[Turpman]

None. I use RO and maga crop. Usually have to bump PH down a bit after first mixing and maybe once or twice more during the week. Shock seems to have no effect though.

Its a lot cheaper than peroxide. I might check it out. Megacrop needs a good dose of sterile or i get flotsam in it.

And the new version 3 megacrop seems to work pretty good so far to me.

 

[Turpman]

Pretty sure I got mine at canadiantire

 

[gwheels]

I will get some tomorrow.

I had done pool shock yrs ago, but it made my pH go wonky and I found myself constantly chasing. Im seeing there is 2 different kinds so I may give it another go.

It's a lot more stable too

You had an underlying bacterial infection and go with the 67%

 

[gwheels]

Is the pool shock in liquid? Or you get granules?

 

[Turpman]

Granules.

 

[Turpman]

Calcium hypochlorite.
