Stenner + Cal Hypo Shock Weekly?

[svierregger]

I have a Stenner chlorine pump on my 30k gunite pool and I maintain my chemicals pretty carefully. Is there any benefit in weekly Cal Hypo shocking in this scenario?

Thanks!

No.

S,

If you maintain the proper CYA to FC ratio, then you should never have to routinely shock your pool at all.

Thanks,

Thank you - saves me some unnecessary $$$. The Stenner fluid seems to go up every year. Just picked some 2023 10% up at Wally World for $5.47 / gal. I use a gallon per day on the hot summer days on average. Cost aside, the Stenner has made maintaining the pool almost easy.

Even easier is a salt water chlorine generator.

Before SWG.

After SWG.

Aside from a hurricane and long time power outage and one failing swg, I have never shocked my pool in 9 years.

There is simply no need.
