Question about this "shock" advertised for salt pools

[NewToronto]

Hi, new to salt water generating system this year , so sorry if this is a dumb question. My question is about a specific product called "Saline Refresh" by Aqua Coastal that was recommended by the pool store. Seems like it might be just another waste of money but I'm not sure. The product literature claims it will "oxidize nitrogenous waste that accumulates in swimming pool water. It should be used bi-weekly or after a heavy bather load on all saltwater pools."

But can't this be done with another method of "shocking", maybe with liquid chlorine or just increasing the chlorine production? And is it really necessary to shock a salt pool if I'm keeping the chemistry in balance, specifically keeping combined chlorine under control (zero or a very small amount).

salt pool, 9600 gallons.

Thanks for any help.

Well, what's in it? Can you post the ingredients

Even knowing them, there is little doubt that chlorine alone (which is what your saltwater pool is) will do the job.

Read up on TFP procedures in our Pool School. You simply don't need any of those extras which are often redundant and, sometimes even harmful

There's no manufacturer safety data sheet available down here in the states. Google AI is saying its non-chlorine which would point to a MPS oxidizing shock but we'd need to see the full label.

Either way, it looks more expensive than it needs to be, and at best if you knew what it was, its unnecessary.

Keep your pool in balance with chlorine on the high side of the range for your CYA and you'll have no need for magic potions. Test your pool yourself and stay out of the den of the pool store.

NT,

You should NEVER need to 'shock" a saltwater pool!!!!

If you always keep your FC and CYA at the proper levels.. Shock is never required.

You have been a member since 2015, and still think that pool store advice is worth even listening to?

Thanks,

Jim R.
