Frequently asked questions

Why does volume matter?

Every chemical dose — chlorine, acid, stabiliser — is prescribed per 10,000 gallons, so an accurate volume prevents over-dosing.

How much chlorine for a shock?

Shocking usually targets 10 ppm free chlorine, so roughly ten times the 1 ppm dose shown above.
