Poolife® TurboShock® Treatment 65lb
Product Overview
At 78% available chlorine, Poolife TurboShock is what pool techs reach for when they need a high-concentration calcium hypochlorite shock that dissolves quickly.
This 65lb bucket of Calcium Hypochlorite provides industrial-strength sanitation for large residential or commercial pools, delivering 78% active chlorine to eliminate organic contaminants and algae. Unlike standard 65% Cal Hypo, TurboShock is a proven choice for restoring water clarity fast, and because it is fast-dissolving, it is safe for all pool surfaces including vinyl and fiberglass when applied correctly. This 65 lbs container is also available in 1 lb, 5 lb, 17 lb, and 25 lb sizes for smaller applications.
Benefits & What Makes It Different
78% Available Chlorine
This high concentration means you use less product compared to standard shocks to reach a 10 ppm breakpoint chlorination level.
Residue-Free Formula
The fast-dissolving granules are engineered to enter solution quickly, reducing the risk of bleaching liners or leaving cloudy calcium deposits.
Bulk Value for Large Pools
The 65 lb container is the standard specification for high-traffic commercial facilities or large residential pools requiring consistent weekly oxidation.

When To Use This
Pro Tip
In hard water areas like the Southwest, keep an eye on your calcium hardness levels, as Cal Hypo adds a small amount of calcium with every dose; if levels exceed 400 ppm, consider alternating with a liquid sanitizer.
Common Questions & Instructions
How much Poolife TurboShock do I need for a 10,000 gallons pool?
For routine maintenance, apply 9–16 ounces per 10,000 gallons to maintain a 5–10 ppm chlorine level; for heavy algae, higher doses may be required.
Does this product contain cyanuric acid (CYA)?
No, this calcium hypochlorite formula is unstabilized, meaning it will not increase your CYA levels, making it ideal for pools already struggling with high stabilizer counts.
Can I use TurboShock in a vinyl liner pool?
Yes, it is safe for all surfaces, but you must add it directly to the water in the deep end and brush any undissolved granules to prevent surface damage.
