Do Not Panic-Shock

If the pool is a swamp, your first job is to get debris out and get the system moving. A huge chemical dump into a dirty pool often wastes product and makes cleanup harder.

  • Remove leaves and sediment first (net, vacuum, brush)
  • Clean baskets and keep circulation running
  • Balance alkalinity and pH before sustained chlorination
