HTH Plunge Pool Shock It 2 x 150g

HTH Plunge Pool Shock It 2 x 150g is a highly concentrated calcium hypochlorite treatment packaged in convenient pre-measured sachets for small volume water bodies.

This fast-dissolving oxidiser is engineered to rapidly eliminate organic contaminants, combined chlorines, and micro-organisms, ensuring that plunge pools and spas remain sanitary and crystal clear throughout the hot South African summer.

Product Specifications and Features

• • Pre-Measured Dosing: Each pack contains two individual one hundred and fifty gram sachets, removing the need for measuring cups or scales.
• • Rapid Solubility: The fine granular format ensures the product dissolves quickly upon contact with water, reducing the risk of surface bleaching.
• • High Available Chlorine: Formulated with a high percentage of active chlorine to provide an immediate sanitising "shock" to the water system.
• • Non-Stabilised Formula: Contains no cyanuric acid, preventing the buildup of stabiliser which can lead to ineffective chlorine performance over time.
• • Compact Packaging: The small sachet size is easy to store and reduces the physical footprint compared to large bulk chemical buckets.

Ideal Use and Application

• • Volume Suitability: Specifically designed for plunge pools, splash pools, and hot tubs with a water capacity between five thousand and ten thousand litres.
• • Frequency of Use: Apply one sachet weekly as a maintenance shock or immediately after heavy swimmer loads or significant rainfall.
• • Application Method: With the pump running, sprinkle the granules directly into the water surface or pre-dissolve in a bucket of pool water if using in a vinyl lined pool.
• • Evening Application: For maximum efficacy, add the product in the early evening to prevent the sun from dissipating the chlorine before it can work.

Safety and Storage

• • Handling Precautions: Do not inhale the dust or allow the granules to touch your skin or eyes; wear gloves and eye protection when dispensing.
• • Swimmer Re-Entry: Do not enter the water until the free chlorine residual has dropped below three parts per million, typically after several hours of filtration.
• • Storage Requirements: Keep the sachets in their original outer packaging in a cool, dry, and locked cupboard away from children, pets, and acids.
• • Chemical Interaction: Never mix this product with other pool chemicals, especially organic chlorine or acids, as this may cause a dangerous reaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

• • Can I use this in a full-sized pool? While possible, you would require multiple sachets; it is more cost effective to use standard HTH Shock It for pools over twenty thousand litres.
• • Will it cloud my water? Temporary cloudiness may occur immediately after dosing but should clear within a few hours as the filter removes the oxidised debris.
• • Is it safe for fibreglass? Yes, provided the granules are well-dispersed and not allowed to settle in a concentrated pile on the floor of the pool.

Pro Tip for Pool Owners

• • To save time during the festive season when plunge pools see heavy use, keep a single sachet of HTH Plunge Pool Shock It ready for the evening after a long day of swimming.
• • Adding the dose right before you turn in for the night allows the chlorine to work undisturbed by the sun or swimmers, ensuring the water is safe and sparkling for the kids to jump back in the very next morning.
