Is one pound of powder shock equal to one gallon of liquid shock? I was told to add 2 packs of powder shock after adding 24 oz algicide. I have liquid shock and I’m not sure if the dosage is the same.

Is the liquid Clorox Bleach that comes in the plastic 1 gallon jug with %6.00 Sodium Hypochlorite the same as Liquid Pool Shock but for the higher percentage of Sodium Hypochlorite in the pool shock?

In reply to Kristy.

Hi Kristy,

1) What size is your swimming pool, let me also know if in ground or above?

2) What type of filter do you have , sand , DE or Cartridge?

Please let me know and I can help you further,

Trying everything to get our pool completely clear, it is still cloudy. We did 6 bags of powdered shock last night and pool is still reading 0.5 chlorine and cloudy. Pool store says to up it to 12 bags tonight. Will liquid be better for this? By the way, all the other levels are perfect.

In reply to AUDREY.

Hi Audrey,

Yes Liquid Shock and Powdered Shock are both good if the correct dosage is added to the swimming pool.

Let me know if you have any more questions,
