Can you help me use this product ?
Neighbor gave me some free stuff , called Pool Shock by In The Swim
Calcium Hypochlorite 68%
Other ingredients 32%
A 1 lb bag will raise 10,000 gal 5-10ppm
I can follow the FC ppm, but I assume it has CYA as the " Other ingredients 32%". How much? I add CYA to my pool 3-4x per season so I'm not opposed to adding it via this method so long as I don’t add too much. My pool does best at CYA 40-50 (and TA of 50 summertime, so both those are a bit weird but this is fact after several seasons), so I always Target CYA 40 which is where it is now. but we get plenty rain, evaporation + tap water added etc
I will take that 1lb bag & convert it to dry volume & go from there. Also the 1st time I use it I will test my FC before and after adding the product to see how it performs on the FC ("5-10ppm" is a pretty huge range)
I got enough free bags to last me a lifetime, so next question is there a shelf life because I see none.
Not leaving BBB, just using free stuff for the occasional CYA & of course while that’s going in I get some FC. Newbies still learning: ignore this post for now if you don’t understand .
Thanks
