Cucumber Mint Spa Shock
Product Overview
Pool techs reach for Pure + Simple Cucumber Mint Spa Shock when they need to oxidize organic contaminants without spiking chlorine levels.
This formula features 36% Potassium Peroxymonosulfate, a non-chlorine oxidizer powered by Oxone Lanxess that effectively breaks down oils and bather waste. Unlike standard shocks, these scented crystals infuse the water with a cucumber mint fragrance while maintaining water clarity. In our experience, it is a proven choice for spa owners who want to avoid the harsh smell of chloramines while keeping their water ready for use in just 15 minutes.
Benefits & What Makes It Different

Pro Tip
In hot climates or during periods of heavy spa usage, organic loads build up faster; using a non-chlorine shock like this prevents 'chlorine lock' by handling the oxidation work so your primary sanitizer can focus on killing pathogens.
Common Questions & Instructions
Does Cucumber Mint Spa Shock replace my primary sanitizer?
No, this product is an oxidizer, not a sanitizer; you still need to maintain a residual of chlorine or bromine to kill bacteria, though this helps your sanitizer work more efficiently by handling the organic load.
How much Cucumber Mint Spa Shock should I add to my hot tub?
The standard dosage is 1 oz for every 100 gallons of water. For a typical 10,000 gallon pool application, this would scale to 100 oz, though it is specifically formulated for the smaller volumes of spas and hot tubs.
Will this product affect my water balance or chemistry?
While it is effective at removing contaminants, Potassium Peroxymonosulfate can slightly lower pH and alkalinity over time, so we recommend testing your water levels weekly to ensure they remain in the ideal range.
