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.
