pool shock
Algae-killing chemical treatment
Pool shock is a chemical treatment, typically a concentrated chlorine compound, used to sanitize swimming pool water by rapidly raising chlorine levels.
The process kills bacteria, algae, and other contaminants that regular chlorination misses.
Pool owners shock their pools after heavy use, storms, or when water turns cloudy: We need to shock the pool before the party this weekend.
