• Super Chlorination burns out the organic material that has combined with chlorine. This frees the chlorine for
sanitizing. This is accomplished by raising the chlorine level quickly and dramatically.
• Shocking (Superoxidation) is also a means of burning out the organic material that has combined with chlorine.
This method involves the manual addition of chemicals to quickly raise the level of chlorine. When the chlorine
level is quickly raised to 5 - 15 ppm the pool water is said to have been shocked.
NOTE On initial startup of a pool, it is best to shock from an alternate source, i.e., use a shock treatment available at
your local pool supplier.
• New pool water in a recently fi lled or newly refi nished pool may contain undesirable matter. This undesirable
matter could interfere with the vessel's ability to sanitize properly. Make sure the water is tested by a service
representative and properly balanced before turning on the chlorinator system.
• Sequestering Agents may be used in some areas where the total hardness of your source water may be
unusually high. High total hardness can contribute to scale formation in the pool. Sequestering agents will help
keep minerals in solution and under some conditions can prevent this from happening. Consult your service
representative about the use of a sequestering agent.
