Using pool robot while shocking

[DebonairGuy]

Hey all! Is it helpful to use the pool robot to keep the shock from sitting on the floor or worse to use it while shocking?

Thanks!

If properly performing a SLAM Process, you may use your robot.

Guy,

What do you mean by "shocking"???

If you follow the TFP pool care process you never have to add pool store shock to your pool...

Tell us more about what you are doing.

Thanks,

I let my pool get green from being out of town so I pour shock in it and it clears back up normally. But I was wondering if it messes up the fact that the shock is in the water when the robot is moving around the pool

If you are doing dump and pray with chlorine, then do not run the robot in that water.

What test kit are you using?
How do you chlorine the pool?

Post a full set of current test results - or post them to PoolMath, sinde it's already linked to your forum account.
FC
CC
pH
TA
CH
CYA
Salt (if a SWG pool)
Water temperature

If you have algae, you need to do the SLAM Process.

You should never allow chlorine of any kind to sit on the surface of the pool - it can bleach it out or worse depending upon what type of chlorine it is.
What type of “shock” are you using?
Cal hypo, dichlor, Trichlor or liquid chlorine? There are different methods for adding each & they all have different effects on your pool’s other parameters (ph, ch, cya)
