Clorox Pool&Spa 33512CLX Pool Shock XtraBlue (12 1-lb Bags), 12 Pack, White
I totally agree. I have been using these products for years and the results are stellar. Great video!
Thank you....for making this so simple for first time pool owner's.
Informative!
I bought these at Costco 24 for $92 it’s the 6 in 1. If you are having a party do you shock a second time before the party or after?
I guess that would depend on when you last shocked it. If your chemicals levels are all looking good before the party then I’d suggest waiting until afterwards and using it the day after the party. If your pool is low on chlorine a day or two before the party then feel free to shock it before the big day. I think it recommends “waiting 15 minutes” before using the pool after shocking but I typically wait at least an hour or two. For regular maintenance I shock our pool once a week or so… and then I adjust the schedule by a day or two based on chemical readings… good luck!
Trying to add a pic of how clear our pool pretty much stays but eh its a good product
Great vid 🏊♂️
Someone who knows nothing about the product. Well done
I think the package said to sweep/stir up any granules from the bottom of the pool . I have a 27’ pool and can’t reach the middle of the pool and it’s not always warm enough to get in. What happens if I don’t get the granules swept/stirred up?
In theory strong chlorine could discolor or even damage a plastic pool liner. This is "fast dissolving" chlorine which comes in very small granules that makes it easier to dissolve. As long as you are running your pool pump when you apply this stuff and as long as you try to sweep up/stir up anything you see resting on the bottom your pool will probably be fine. I haven't had a problem with it not dissolving or sitting on the bottom of the pool. I certainly haven't seen any damage from using it over the past few years.
Quit being a wuss n hop in da God dam pool Jesus Christ
@@tomshomefindsI mix up the powder in a bucket then pour it in. No granules laying on the bottom to burn it. Fill bucket first then add the powder.
Do they have cya in them?
When i opened my above ground pool this year, it was very green. Went to by some shock and I bought the Shock Blue, it took the green away but now it is blue and cloudy. I checked the water with testing strips and all is close to normal. I have done everything to make the water clear and nothing. Any thoughts about it or suggestions.
I'm not a pool expert, but I would recommend getting a specially designed "clarifier" product, usually it's a liquid from what I've seen. It helps to bind particles in the water and kind of clump them together they don't make the water cloudy. You'll need to vacuum and make sure your pool filter is clean as well.
@@tomshomefinds Thank you! Have a wonderful day!
What else do we need to add besides that ?????
This is a good start, but it depends on your pool water. Most pool stores with test your water for free (just bring in a little container of water and they'll recommend what to add.
I can use in my Coleman pool 22 foot Clorox pool shock??
Yes
Awesome info! about to poor this as we speak for the first time to shock the pool overnight and jump in tomorrow morning. I also have the Clorox tablets should I just pop those in the morning ? Thanks
We use a shock treatment about once a week and we place one chlorine tablet in a floater that just sits in the pool and slowly releases chlorine. It's pretty basic. Our tablets tend to last a week or two, but you can usually adjust the flow of water into them so may last a little shorter or longer depending on a number of different conditions.
I use the 4-1 once or twice a week but only about a quarter of pack since my pool is under 4000 gallon and I also have the chlorine tabs float daily and test several times a week. We burn through chlorine due to direct sunlight but I've loved this product so far
Price
If I use the 6 in 1 do I still need to use chlorine tablets?
I do still use the chlorine tablets. I have a floating chlorine disburser and I put a new tablet in about once a week.
I used 4&1 pools clean as hell but still green can’t get back to blue
It's possible that the green you see is dead algae and you really just need to clean or replace your filter. I'd also take a water sample to your local pool store and have them run a test. They can often diagnose a problem and give you a solution with just a little jar of pool water.
@@tomshomefindsif it’s green it’s not dead algae. Dead algae normally appears as white powder. Vacuum it up
Used two gallons of pool chlorine
Too bad Costco stop carrying this product! Now they carry another brand but does not devolve as well leaves a film on the water.
Oy, sorry to hear. At the moment Amazon seems to have them at a really affordable price: amzn.to/4aUqSt1 (which includes shipping to your door in most cases)
Just use liquid chlorine and pay attention to stabilizer, cheaper and easier by far and no shock is ready to swim in 15 min or it’s not working properly, chlorine to shock needs to be 10ppm or more for a certain amount of time to do it’s job, stop adding so much store bough junk into your pool, liquid chlorine, Muriatic acid, CYA, that’s all you need liquid chlorine costs me 20 bucks for 2 gallons it takes 4-6 ounces to bring my pool up to very high levels, (small pool) but even in a large pool it’s still cheaper than tablets, bagged shock etc, and no added mess to ruin your water just the basics
thats exactly all i do. WHATS A QUICK FIX FOR A HAIRLINE CRACK ON Diverter Valves?
@@gladenacole1524 a two part epoxy, hit the auto parts store they probably have some
100% agree. I used to use all these shock products until i started doing some research and discovered liquid chlorine works just as well. I just walk around the outside of my pool in the evening while i pour about 1/3 gal. straight in the water about every 4 days ( 34,000 gal pool) along with about 8oz of baking soda to regulate ph/alkalinity. Always do a water test before AND after the add to ensure proper levels. Best hack I ever learned.
2ND YEAR, I USE A LITTLE STRAIGHT CYA, CHLORINE TABS, AND POWDER SHOCK TO START OUT AFTER NYS WINTER AT UNCOVER/SWIM TIME. GOOD DOSE OF LIQUID CHLORINE IN FALL AND SPRING. TEST WITH STRIPS AND TEST DROPS. WHEN CYA GETS UP A LITTLE THEN TIME TO GO MORE TO LIQUID CHLORINE. AFTER OUR FIRST ALGAE MESS I SUPER SHOCKED AFTER ABOUT 15%+ DRAIN, THEN BROUGHT CHLORINE DOWN WITH FRESH WATER, SUN AND PEROXIDE (WITH MUCH CLEANING...). I just made a CHEAT SHEET for next year as i will not remember all of this. So my test results will dictate what i use in my 8400 gallon pool WITH A FEW EXTRA OPTIONS, Here it is, i hope it helps someone:
LIQUID CHLORINE- TO RAISE CHLORINE LEVEL
CHLORINE TABS INCREASE CL LEVEL AND ADD CYA
Clorox Pool&Spa Shock Plus- CONTAINS CYA,
Clorox Pool&Spa Shock XtraBLUE 6/1 CONTAINS COPPER uses a stabilized form of chlorine, increase CYA levels. (I WILL PROBABLY SWITCH TO 4 IN ONE.)
dichlor shock- contains cyanuric acid (PROBABLY WILL NEVER USE)
Calcium Hypochlorite shock will increase hardness and slightly raise PH, RAISES CHLORINE, DOES NOT CONTAIN CYA
HYDROGEN PEROXIDE- will LOWER CHLORINE level and LOWER PH, _______ EFFECT ON ALKALINITY? (35% 1 CUP TO SHOCK 250OGAL /12% 3 CUP TO SHOCK 2500 GAL / 3% 3 QT TO SHOCK 2500 GAL)
BAKING SODA- will INCREASE PH, INCREASE ALKALINITY
BORAX- WILL INCREASE PH WITHOUT MUCH EFFECT ON ALKALINITY
MURIATIC ACID-WILL LOWER PH AND LOWER ALKALINITY
Algaecide 60 Plus - Poly-QuatALGEA REMOVER-DOES NOT CONTAIN COPPER, IS RECOMMENDED
@cheriewillis4903 my pool is 17,000 gal. Will a gallon a week suffice ?
