Pool Magic Turbo Shock Granules 530g

The Pool Magic Turbo Shock Granules 530g is a fast-dissolving, calcium hypochlorite-based treatment designed to sanitise and clarify pool water. This concentrated granular shock effectively eliminates organic contaminants, bacteria, and algae, providing a robust solution for troubleshooting cloudy water. It is pre-dosed for pools up to 50,000 litres, ensuring rapid restoration of water hygiene.

Ideal Use and Performance

• • Contaminant Removal: Specifically formulated to oxidise organic waste such as body oils, cosmetics, and environmental debris that cause water dullness.
• • Algae Eradication: Provides an immediate surge of free available chlorine to kill active algae blooms and prevent further growth.
• • Filter Synergy: Works effectively with your pool’s filtration system to clump dead algae and microscopic particles for easier removal during backwashing.
• • No Chlorine Lock: Being an unstabilised shock, it does not add cyanuric acid (stabiliser) to your water, helping to avoid "chlorine lock" in already stabilised pools.

Safety Precautions

• • Application Method: For vinyl-lined or coloured fibreglass pools, always pre-dissolve the granules in a bucket of water before adding to prevent bleaching or surface damage.
• • Timing: Apply in the evening to prevent the harsh South African sun from degrading the chlorine before it has time to sanitise the water.
• • Protective Gear: Wear gloves and eye protection when handling; avoid breathing in dust when opening the sachet or mixing.
• • Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from acids, detergents, or other pool chemicals to prevent dangerous chemical reactions.

Frequently Asked Questions

• • When can I swim after using this? Do not swim immediately. Wait until the free chlorine level has dropped to between 1 and 3 ppm, which usually takes 12 to 24 hours.
• • Does it affect pH levels? Calcium hypochlorite has a high pH; you may need to add a small amount of pool acid after the treatment to re-balance your water.
• • Can I use this for green pool water? Yes, it is an ideal "rescue" treatment, but very green pools may require a double dose and a follow-up algaecide.
• • How often should I shock? For maintenance, shock every two weeks, or immediately after heavy rain, high swimmer loads, or extreme heat spells.

Clever Hack for pools

• • By "pre-shocking" while the water is still clear, you use far less chemical than you would to fix a green pool later.
