3 Mistakes That Make Your Pool Cloudy After Shocking

Shocking during daylight Sunlight breaks down chlorine quickly. Add shock after sunset and run the pump overnight to let the filter catch dead particles.

Shocking with unbalanced pH Keep pH between 7.2 and 7.4 before shocking. Off-balance pH causes shock to form calcium carbonate precipitate, which creates white cloudiness.

Using too much shock More shock does not mean clearer water. Follow the label dosage for your pool size to avoid chemical imbalances.
