I just shocked the pool due to overfilling it and got all the levels back to normal. This AM I found a small mouse in the skimmer dead. Do I shock again or leave it alone?
What does "shock" mean?
I don't worry about it. There are tons of germs from all kinds of sources that regularly enter the pool - that's why we use chlorine in the first place.
I did run across this from the CDC though: If the CDC says "don't worry about it" then you know it's not big deal, lol. They say 2 ppm chlorine will do the trick and I think we all use more than that on a regular basis.
For what it's worth I get about 3 mice a month in my pool and my chlorine never drops below 3.5.
