Keep Your Pool Crystal Clear, Safe, and Swim-Ready!
If you own a pool in Fort Bend or anywhere in Texas, you know how fast things can turn from clear to cloudy or worse, green! One of the most important steps to prevent that? Weekly pool shocking.
What is Pool Shocking?
Shocking means adding a high dose of chlorine or other oxidizing agent to destroy contaminants like bacteria, algae, sweat, sunscreen, and even urine that regular chlorination might not fully eliminate.
Why Do It Weekly?
Even with proper daily chlorination, organic contaminants build up. If they’re not oxidized regularly, they cause cloudy water, strong chlorine smells, skin irritation and can even allow algae to grow.
Here’s what weekly shocking helps with:
Prevents algae and cloudy water
Keeps water sanitized and safe for swimmers
Removes invisible contaminants and chloramines (bad-smelling combined chlorine)
Helps your chlorine work more efficiently
Pro Tip: Always shock your pool in the evening, so the sun doesn’t burn off the chlorine before it does its job. And make sure your pump runs for several hours afterward to circulate the chemicals.
If you don’t want to worry about keeping up with shocking, brushing, balancing, and all the rest, that’s what we’re here for!
