I can't shock my pool

[Richard320]

I need to shock my pool.

I plugged in a blow dryer and dropped it in. Nothing. Next I tried a toaster. Nothing has changed.

Do I need something that's 220 volts?


















April Fools!!

Did you remember to defeat the GFI first?

Remember Shocking a pool is a process!!! So you would have to use both the blow dryer and the toaster at the same time!!! Didn't we teach you anything.

Did you try your TV or Laptop/Desktop?

Hahaha, You'll never know if you are truely shocking unless you get a good quality test kit. May I suggest the TFTestKit/volt meter...... :-D

I've always wanted to know if that would kill algea or not.

Richard, you need the proper materials to shock with. A toaster wouldn't shock a goldfish bowl! What you need to do is go to Best Buy and get the largest 3D television they have and pay cash for it. Take it home, tune in to "Oprah" and chuck it in the deep end! (Be sure to wear the 3D glasses for optimum effect!)

Richard you need more volts and more importantly you need more amps. You could try going to your local generator rental place and get the biggest trailer mounted generator they have, .....

 

[guamguy]

If you've got any overhead high-voltage power lines around, you could get a long metal chain, put one end in the pool, and throw the other end over the power line. That should give the pool a good shock :lol:

Shocking is a process:
Voltage doesn't kill, amperage does.
In order to pass enough current, add a few extra bags of salt first.
Then drop the the ground clamp of a Lincon Arc welder in the water.
(Hint)If you go to a boating store, you can get a couple large zinc anodes and put one on the ground clamp and one on the stinger.
Drop in the water and crank up the amperage to 225 amps.
Turn on the the welder.
This will quickly toast any biologicals in the water, even chlorine resistant crypto and gardia.
