Pool shock will keep your pool clean, healthy and free of chloramines. Chlorine combined with oils and swimmers' wastes forms chloramines, which reduce the effectiveness of your chlorine. Chloramines also emit a very strong odor and cause your eyes to burn. If you're smelling a strong chlorine odor in your pool, it might suggest that there is too little free available chlorine. Learn more about chloramines and applying pool shock.
A weekly dose of a good pool shock will raise the free available chlorine level and eliminate chloramines, allowing chlorine to do the job it's supposed to do...sanitize! Pool shock should also be applied after heavy pool use, heavy rains, or excessive heat.
