Should I shock my pool after rain without testing the water first?

No, test your pool water first. Heavy rain dilutes chemicals and throws off pH and alkalinity, and dumping shock into unbalanced water wastes it and can cloud the pool worse. Adjust pH to between 7.2 and 7.6 before shocking, then bring chlorine to shock level and run the pump overnight. That two-minute test saves you from wasting money.
