Pool Shock: The difference between Liquid Chlorine Shock and Dry Chlorine Shock

Dry chlorine shock is a higher concentration of pool shock. Of the brands/types carried at Hansen's, all dry shock is rated at 68% or more for available Chlorine. This is compared to liquid Chlorine's shock rating at 12.5% Available Chlorine. That means it would take 6.24 gallons of liquid shock to make up just one bag of Turbo Shock!

This was helpful. I had no idea about the differences.

So one bag of granules is equivalent to how many gallons of liquids?

[@MLEB723]

I usually use 8 gallons a week, how many bags would I need? Do I mix it with water before putting it into pool?

Hello! How many gallons is your pool?

[@melmeister7527]

a gal of liquid = 8.3 lbs so you are adding in 8.3lbs vs 1lb of dry its about the same shock

[@hansenspoolspa1433]

Hello! Liquid Chlorine is not measured in lbs, it is measured in volume. So it would be different.
