Money Saving Tip: Shock Your Swimming Pool Every Week

WHAT!?!

I know, some people either think I’m crazy or rich when I say this… or rich AND crazy. Shocking your swimming pool every week can help save you money and here is why.

Let’s say it’s the middle of the summer and you’ve been good at shocking your pool every week. Your pool has been crystal clear all summer long. You’ve been testing your water regularly and everything is going perfect! Then, you decide that you’ve been so good that you’ll skip a week taking care of it. Remember, now it’s hot and your kids have been swimming in it. All of the sudden your pool turns green and cloudy. This can actually happen.

Now instead of following your normal routine and shocking it once a week, you are forced to triple shock it this week to get rid of the green. And you also have to run your filter system 24/7 to help clear up the cloudy water. Now you have just wasted all that extra money pumping more shock into your water and running the filter longer.

So, in short, shocking your pool every week helps maintain a healthy and clear pool, which will prevent these kinds of things from happening. Just some advice for the upcoming pool season. Share it with your friends with pools.

The same should go for hot tubs and spas too!
