Introducing the Deep Blue Pro Granular Shock, a powerhouse in pool water treatment designed to tackle even the toughest of pool water problems. These calcium hypochlorite granules boast an impressive available chlorine level of approximately 70%, making them a potent chlorine donor for your pool.
When it comes to restoring your pool water to its sparkling best after an algae infestation, the Granular Shock Chlorine is your go-to solution. Simply add it through the skimmer, and watch as it works its magic to combat algae and bring your pool water back to life.
Here’s a top tip for maintaining your pool’s water quality: after a thunderstorm, swiftly administer a 5mg/l dose of Deep Blue Pro Granular Shock Granules or Shock ‘n’ Floc Granules. Thunderstorms can introduce nitrogen into the atmosphere, which then gets washed into your pool by the rain. Algae thrive on nitrogen, potentially turning your pool water green. A timely shock dose of chlorine can help stave off this green invasion.
For effective application of the Deep Blue Pro Granular Shock, follow these step-by-step instructions:
1. Ensure your pool’s pH levels are within the ideal range of 7.2 – 7.6. Adjust if necessary.
2. Maintain free chlorine levels between 1 – 3 mg/l (ppm) regularly. Consider shock or oxidizing treatments on a weekly or fortnightly basis, with a maximum of 10mg/l (10ppm) for a full shock treatment.
3. Pre-dissolve the granules in a clean plastic container at a maximum rate of 100g per 2.2 gallons (10 litres) of water. Mix thoroughly to ensure complete dissolution before adding the solution to the pool with the pump running for optimal distribution.
4. Repeat the application if needed to reach your desired chlorine level.
5. Following treatment, your pool water may temporarily appear cloudy, so keep the filtration pump running until it clears up.
6. Allow the chlorine level to drop below 5ppm before resuming swimming activities, waiting at least 30 minutes after treatment.

Manufacturers description:
Deep Blue Pro Granular Shock – A traditional shock treatment product, these calcium hypochlorite granules have an available chlorine level of on average 70% making them a good chlorine donor for pool water problem solving.
Granular Shock Chlorine is very effective at restoring sparkling water from algae infestation.
Granular Shock Chlorine can be added through the skimmer.
Top Tip:As soon as possible after a thunderstorm shock dose your pool with a 5mg/l dose of Deep Blue Pro Granular Shock Granules or Shock ‘n’ Floc Granules.
The reason for this is that lightening creates nitrogen in the atmosphere and the rain washes this nitrogen into your pool. Nitrogen is plant food and algae thrive on it, so pool water can quickly turn green after a thunderstorm, a shock dose of chlorine can help prevent this.
Application Instructions:1. Maintain pH levels within the ideal range of 7.2 – 7.6. If the level is not in this range, adjust accordingly.
2. Maintain free chlorine residuals routinely in the 1 – 3 mg/l (ppm) range. Shock or oxidising procedures are recommended either weekly or fortnightly with a maximum of 10mg/l (10ppm) for a full shock treatment.
3. Pre-dissolve this product in a clean plastic container at a maximum rate of 100g of product per 2.2 gallons ( 10 litres) of water. Stir well to ensure product is fully dissolved. Add the resulting solution to the pool whilst the pump is turned ON preferably near the water inlets to aid distribution.
4. Repeat dose/application if necessary to achieve the desired level.
5. After using this product, pool water may become temporarily cloudy, so keep the filtration pump running until it clears.
6. After shock treatment procedures allow the chlorine to drop below 5ppm before bathing recommences and in any event wait for at least 30 minutes before bathing recommences.
