"Best In Show", December 14, 2008
By M42ap from West of Indianapolis, IN

Pros: Fast-dissolving, stores easily
Cons: None, if used proplerly

"Overall, this has to be the best "shock" treatment that I have ever used! It's FAST, it's EXTREMELY efficient, and it's properties make the addition of other treatments/chemicals something that can be done within a minimal "wait" time."

Great Find, November 27, 2008
By klsmom from LI, NY

"This past summer my pool loved the color green more than blue and I was at a point that I did not know what to do, I read your reviews on this product and I took a chance. As soon as I got it I put it in the pool and within hours I could see a difference and in 1-1/2 days the pool was sparkling, clean. The best it looked all summer. Thank You! Next year I am buying at the begining of the year and making it a part of my pool routine."

Keep it clean!, November 26, 2008
By deejay from saint louis

Pros: works well with non-chlorine pool
Cons: doesn't kill brown algae

"I have a non-chlorine pool(silver and copper electrodes) but it occasionally needs a boost. The super shock does the job and doesn't leave a major chlorine residue. I need to use it about once a week when the leaves are falling."

best purchase ever, November 26, 2008
By fergi103 from university place, wa

Pros: goes a long way and uses less bags

"Hi there,
We have a large pool measuring 29,000 gallons of water. It takes quite a bit to get our pool at the accurate levels of chemicals. Using this SHOCK product this past season has greatly reduced the amount of bags and the concentration seems to last longer. This stronger product is not available at the discount houses (Costco) either and you would pay much, much more at the pool and spa stores."

Shocking Results!, November 26, 2008
By poolgal from IN

Pros: To your door fast delivery, great price, great results!
Cons: Bags require sharp implement for opening

"This is the best pool shock I've found! Just follow the directions and your pool will sparkle all summer long. I love the ease of ordering and the fast to my door delivery. I generally order enough for the summer as the box(es) fit well on the shelf in my poolhouse for easy access. The only qualm I have is the lack of easy opening as the bags require the use of scissors or some other sharp tool to open them. But the 1 pound size is handy to use and easy to handle.
I love In The Swim products and you know they are working when your neighbor says "Your pool always looks so clear and clean! How do you do it??" Thank You In The Swim for making my life easier and my pool look great!!"

Perfect Water, September 2, 2008
By CindyR from Louisville, KY

Pros: Easy to use once the bag is open
Cons: Bags require scissors to open

"Great stuff. I have a large pool of about 64,000 gallons. There are 2 automatic chlorinators that I refill each week, but after the weekend is over, I always put 4 bags of Super Shock in the pool. I don't mix it with water, I just pour it in placing it in front of the spouts that circulate the water (8 locations) and that seems to both dissolve it quickly and pushes it around the pool. The water is crystal clear and always tests perfect."

Somewhat disappointed, July 21, 2008
By Rhepona

Pros: made the water clear
Cons: did NOT get rid of the algae

"after being gone and not touching the pool for 2 weeks, I got home and the pool was green and cloudy. Shocked my 38,000 gal with 4 bags (which should have been good for 60K) and it cleared up the water but the pool was still VERY green"

Knockout powder shocker!, July 8, 2008
By MrPool from Southeastern Michigan

Pros: POWERFUL!; IMMEDIATE! PREVENTS & CONTROILS ALGAE & STERILITY ISSUES!
Cons: ZERO

"No I don't work for the company, manufacturer or supplier. I am an inground pool owner in Michigan who used to be as stumped about chemicals and pool water balancing as everyone else but not any more.
fortunatedly, and because of this product, I have never had an algae problem because I use this product in addition to my automatic chlorinator. I have never bothered to mix this product in water prior to adding it to the pool - THERE IS NO NEED FOR THAT EXTRA STEP IN MY OPINION AND AFTER USING IT FOR 7 YEARS NOW! While my pool cleaner is running I sprinkle it directly into the water as I walk around the perimeter of my pool (in low wind conditions); I do this once every 10 days. Admittedly, I keep my chlorine levels slightly high testing the water balance with only the dip sticks which have proven quite accurate. I have recently switched to enzyme/no PH algae control product I found on this site and use no algaecide anymore - my water is crystal clear and easier to balance. I feel this pool shock and regiment has allowed me to relax about my water balance and get on with other aspects of my life throughout the week without the fear of a "water monster" weighing on me while not attending to my pool. I also use this to clean my masonary decking around the pool; just sprinkle and hose off - my plants have never been adversely affected. As you can tell I'm a big fan. This is the first time I have bothered to write a review about anything by the way..."

Best Shock I've Used, November 8, 2007
By Viewtron from Florida

Pros: Dissolves easily and works quickly
Cons: none

"Good stuff. I put it directly into the pool and it disolves before it gets to the bottom.
Very easy to use and, for me at least, it will turn a green pool blue overnight."
