Newb having my first pool party this weekend. Wondering when to shock. I've read after a "heavy swimload", but wondering what is considered "heavy". Should I shock after a pool party?
Thanks

When to shock
- Thread starter Rob621
- Start date
I would raise the FC level a little extra before the party. After the party, if the FC level went to zero I would shock, but hopefully the FC level won't go to zero and simply adding a little extra chlorine will take care of things.
It certainally will not hurt anything to shock after a pool party.
I recommend that you raise your FC to high target for your CYA level prior to the party.
You can test during the party (if it lasts for quite a while) and adjust if needed.
And test pH & FC after the party and make necessary adjustments.
There are so many variables for the definition of "heavy swimload" - I'll leave that to someone else.
