Benefits & What Makes It Different
High-Strength 78% Available Chlorine
Delivers rapid oxidation of chloramines, algae, and bacteria using concentrated calcium hypochlorite, requiring less product per shock treatment.

When To Use This
Pro Tip
Always broadcast TurboShock in the evening with the filtration pump running so UV rays don't degrade the unstabilized chlorine before it oxidizes contaminants. For pools in hard-water regions like the Southwest, alternate with non-calcium oxidizers if your calcium hardness approaches 400 ppm.
Common Questions & Instructions
What is the recommended dosage for Poolife TurboShock per 10,000 gallons?
The standard application is 9–16 ounces (one 1 lb pouch) per 10,000 gallons of pool water to raise free chlorine, burn off combined chlorine, and clear cloudy water.
Will calcium hypochlorite raise pool pH or calcium hardness levels?
Yes, cal hypo has an alkaline pH and contributes a small amount of calcium. After shocking, ensure your chemistry settles within target ranges: pH 7.2–7.6 and calcium hardness 200–400 ppm.
Can I pre-dissolve Poolife TurboShock granules in a bucket of water?
No. Never add water to calcium hypochlorite or mix it in a bucket due to fire and violent reaction risks. Always broadcast the dry shock directly into the deep end with the circulation pump running.
