Pros: The Price!
Cons: The Water remains cloudyfor two days after

"When using" ITS" Pool shock, the following morning & for two days after the Water remains cloudy. I utilize clarifier the next day with the filter continually running. I did find out one time the alkalinity was low, once I increased the Alkalinity level the water amazing became clear. With no heavy rain this time & the water balanced, the pool still clouds up. I switch every other week with the non chlorine shock by "ITS" and that stuff is great! I am thinking about using a different brand or trying the Super pool shock by "ITS". Why is it the pool shock package suggests to "not" predisolve in water but on the website it suggests that you should predisolve?"

Effective, May 21, 2008
By lbianch from Southeast Mass

Pros: Value, Clears up a green pool fast
Cons: It didn't dance

"Had dark green pool water when I opened. Once the pH and alkalinity were ok, put in 4 lbs of this (24,000 gal) and it turned a light green. Another 2 lbs and it was clear. Can't beat it. Will definetly use this through the season on a weekly basis."

Best Pool Shock out there, August 23, 2007
By BillthePoolMan

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: none

"In the Swim Pool Shock is just too easy to use. No pre mixing, just spread it in the deep end of the pool and forget it. It keeps the water clear and safe with little effort, which means a lot when your the one who has to take care of a big inground pool."

Excellant Shock For The Pool, August 9, 2007
By fillups1 from Flat Rock, Alabama Sand Mtn.

Pros: No Pre Mixing
Cons: Can't Think Of Any

"This is a great shock and a great value. Once a week treatment with this product will assure you a clean pool and crystal clear water all season. I have been using this shock for several seasons now and been recommending this product and In The Swim ever since the first season I used it. For the last two years my pool openings look exactly the way it did the prior season when I closed it. Crystal clear water keeps me coming back for more of this shock and all the other chemicals I purchase from In the Swim. Great value, Great product, and Great one day service.."

CLOUDY POOL SHOCK, August 9, 2007
By keach

Cons: Makes pool water very cloudy
"I was not very impressed with this shock - It was very hard to dissolve - you must vaccuum after using - and the water became very cloudy - it does clear up about an hour or so later - I would not recommend"
