I only need a small amount for my 1,000 gallon pool, so I roll the top and store the bag in a freezer ziplock bag.There was some undissolved powder remaining on the bottom of the pool but I have found that with every brand. I use my Aqua Broom pool vacuum about an hour after to remove.I have not noticed any fading or bleaching of my pool as other reviews have stated, but I will update if I do. I even accidentally got some of it on the blue blow up ring on our Intex pool and it did not bleach, fade or stain.Tip- You can add the shock to a white cotton tube sock and swish around in the pool until is dissolved.Proper shocking should raise your total chlorine to 10 ppm for 4 hours to properly kill bacteria.This is a stabilized chlorine, meaning it contains cyanuric acid ( CA) to prevent chlorine loss. Do not add more CA unless your test strip level is too low as too much CA will cause chlorine lock- which means it will not work on the bacteria.I did not notice a spike in Ph or total acidity ( TA) and most things I've read state that trichlor does not, but it can take longer for ph & TA to spike or drop. I retest 4 hours and 24 hours after shocking.No calcium, so will not raise water hardness like shock containing calcium hypochlorite.( personal retail purchase) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Shockingly good *by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2019* This is SHOCKingly good. Ha ha get it? Ok. I only use this for shock. I open and close my pool with it, and the pool water is always clean when I remove the cover in spring.You can use it to help maintain your pool at a lower dose, but I do not find the need to do that. I keep this on hand in case I need to SLAM my pool (see trouble free pool DOT net if you do not know what that is). Other than that, I just keep twelve or so pouches of this stuff (6 pouches in one box) and 12 gallons of 10% bleach on hand as part of my pool sanitizer. I keep it on hand so I do not need to wait to order it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Use common sense and do a little research and this will work wonderfully for most applications! *by S***B on Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2020* This shock sitting at the bottom of pool actually is a good thing for some pool issues. I have a black algae issue that grows on the floor of the concrete pool. This shock doesn't dissolve as quickly as other shock so it will eat the protective waxy skin off the black algae. (Good) It may not be as good for vinyl as by sitting, it could bleach the color out of the vinyl. (Bad) If you are concerned about bleaching, just fill a bucket with water and let the shock dissolve then pour into your pool. Or, as a home hack, just use a gallon of bleach instead. Also, people saying it doesn't work are showing pictures of the shock mixed with a bunch of leaves and sticks. Get all the garbage out of pool BEFORE you shock it! All those leaves have living algae on them that will grow like wildfire!! A little common sense goes a long way! Algae also grows in the pipes. It's important to completely eradicate the algae so that no spores are left to grow and multiply. Maintenance is easier than the initial killing of algae. Not easy but doable! Finally, make sure the water is oh balanced. A simple test kit can tell if water is to acidic (usually in my case) or too alkaline. Simple to add either baking soda to bring down the acidity (think time for the tummy) or add the opposite case murratic acid (think helping digestion in a stomach). The shock works best in pH balanced water. Finally, make sure the water has stabilizer! It's only added once when filling a pool. You can add some every time you add water or it rains. It helps hold the chlorine in the water to keep it from evaporating. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/14397581-shock-treatment-6-pack-1-lb-bags](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/14397581-shock-treatment-6-pack-1-lb-bags) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
