Combo of LC and lithium hypo to shock? Or not?!

[Lynnster52]

Can one use a combo of LC & Lithium Hypo to shock a pool if one has both, but not enough of one to get to needed shock level?

My thought was to use PoolMath calculator at the bottom of PoolMath page for each form of chlorine to get to the shock level needed..if even possible.

Tks!

Both add chlorine.

I do not know what an increasing level of lithium in your pool water does. So that should be investigated.

Yes, both add chlorine. I just wondered if a comb of both to shock could be done as I don't have enough 8.2% LC on hand...
I won't risk it until someone says yes or no.
Tks!
