Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes TurboShock™ different from other pool shocks?
A: TurboShock™ contains a high concentration of Cal Hypo (78%) — one of the most powerful active chlorine levels in the industry. It dissolves fast, works quickly and won’t add stabilizer (cyanuric acid) to your pool.
Q: Can I use this in any pool?
A: Yes. It’s safe for all pool surfaces and types, including vinyl, plaster and fiberglass.
Q: Do I need to pre-dissolve this product?
A: No. TurboShock™ is designed to dissolve quickly when broadcast directly into the pool water.
Q: Is this product compatible with saltwater systems?
A: Yes, but it should be used as a supplement for periodic shocking — not as a daily sanitizer for salt pools.
Q: How often should I use TurboShock™ during peak season?
A: Weekly shock treatments are recommended during summer or periods of heavy use to keep water clean and prevent issues like algae and chloramine buildup.
Q: Will TurboShock™ raise my pool’s calcium levels?
A: Yes, as a Cal Hypo-based product, TurboShock™ can slightly increase calcium hardness over time. Monitor water balance regularly and adjust as needed.
Q: Can I use this product during the day?
A: You can, but applying TurboShock™ in the evening is best to avoid chlorine loss due to sunlight and maximize effectiveness.
Q: What should I do if my pool is extremely cloudy or green?
A: For severe water issues, double or triple the standard dose of TurboShock™. Run the pump continuously and brush pool surfaces to speed recovery. Always test and retreat as needed.
