a. Consult your manufacturer’s recommendations. SPLASH® Pool Shock may be applied only by the methods specified on the labeling. For a new pool or spring start-up, super-chlorinate with 54 to 108 ounces of product for each 10,000 gallons of water to yield five to 10 ppm available chlorine by weight. Check the level of available chlorine with a test kit. Adjust and maintain pool water pH between 7.2 and 7.6. Adjust and maintain the alkalinity of the pool between 50 and 100 ppm.
b. To maintain the pool, add 12 ounces of pool shock for each 10,000 gallons of water either manually or by a chemical feeder to yield an available chlorine residual between 0.6 and 1.0 ppm by weight. Stabilized pools should maintain a residual of 1.0 to 1.5 ppm available chlorine. Monitor the pH, available chlorine residual, and alkalinity of the water frequently with appropriate test kits. Frequency of water treatment will depend on the temperature of the pool and number of swimmers.
c. Every seven days, or as necessary, super-chlorinate the pool with 54 to 108 ounces of product for each 10,000 gallons of water to yield five to 10 ppm available chlorine by weight. Check the level of available chlorine with a test kit. Do not reenter the pool until the chlorine residual is between 1.0 and 3.0 ppm.
