The final step in
the process is to shock the pool. The addition of
shock products breaks down the chloramines and
destroys them. These chloramines are created when
nitrogen containing organic compounds, such as
suntan oils, cosmetics, perspiration, etc., combine
with the chlorine residual in your pool water. The
resulting chloramines provide no sanitizing function
and actually cause strong chlorine odor, cloudy
water, eye irritation, and become food for bacteria
and algae. Weekly applications of Shock will reduce
the chloramines (and the chlorine smell) and keep
your pool chemicals functioning at top levels. |
