Best Shock product I have found, July 18, 2009
By PoolSlave from Utica, NY

Pros: Strong, effective, Easy, fast acting, fast shipping, long lasting, inexpensive.
Cons: None that I can see.

"This was the first time I ordered shock from In the Swim or any mail order company. I have been getting my shock at a local home and department stores, and sometimes at pool stores.

When the prices there rose steeply this year, and there was an offer of free shipping going on from In The Swim, I decided to try In the Swim shock product. I chose the cheapest of the products offered by In The Swim, and was a little worried that the shock would not be good quality. But when I got it I was happily surprised to find that it was even stronger concentration than some "super" shock products offered by others.

I ordered it on a Friday late at night, I believe, and by Monday afternoon it was on my front porch. My pool was green and cloudy at that time and desperately needed to be shocked...it was well overdue and chlorine reading was non existent. I dumped in six bags (which is normally recommended for my size pool as a maintenance dose) and an hour and a half later it was no longer cloudy green but crystal clear and sparkling. The test strip shown bright purple for the chlorine reading, too.

I have had to use only about half as much of this shock product to keep it that way as I had to use of the shock and "super" shock products I got at the local stores.

I will definitely be ordering this product from in the swim in the future. Would definitely recommend it to friends, and have already. It wouldn't be very "friendly" of me NOT to recommend this to others of my friends who have pools.

Awesome product, July 18, 2009
By Char from Elgin,IL

Pros: Easy to dispense
Cons: Is in granual form

"I Have been using In The Swim's shock for years and it does a really good job. I don't have to adjust the PH often through the season and it keeps the water crystal clear. I pour it through the skimmer and it dispenses into the pool without trying to mix in water and try to reach over pool to dispense."

Great product, July 15, 2009
By MasterDiverGirl from Fayetteville, NC

Pros: Convient, Great Price, Easy to use

"After searching the internet for the best prices on different pool chemicals I found in the swim. Their prices are always cheaper than other companies selling the same product. I haven't purchased anything from them that hasn't turned out to be a great product! I also know that I can order the product and it will be at my door the next day. So if I am having a problem with my pool its just as convient to order from you guys as it is to visit my local pool store. Thanks!!"

Excellent Choice, July 12, 2009
By Mindy from Elizabethtown, KY

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: none

"I have a 30' x 15' pool and this shock does a terrific job of keeping my pool beautiful and sparkling clear. I purchased the 24 pac size and it was such a bargin! Much more economical than purchasing the liquid shock from my local pool supplier that I used to use. And so easy to just broadcast over the water. No more ruining clothing with bleach splashes. This is a huge plus for me. Love this shock and plan to use it for years to come!"

Beats the competition, July 11, 2009
By Lawnboy from Cincinnati ,Ohio

Pros: Active ingredients

"This is definitely a 'best buy'. I had reason to be in a local retail pool store and checked their similar product. This IN THE SWIM product beat the competition two ways--- by having a lower price and a higher active ingredient composition.

We all need 'better value.

Great shock, July 11, 2009
By Tinabelle from Arkansas City, Kansas

Pros: price

"This is the 4th summer that we've had our in ground pool. We have a local pool supply store right here locally. I've used their supplies as well as the local Wal-Mart. This is the first summer that I've strictly used In the Swim and also the first summer that my pool has been crystal clear. Every other year I have battled my pool turning green, but not this year. I will continue to use In the Swim. Their products are AWESOME and you can't beat the price."

Great products, April 22, 2009
By bigbobber from Waxahachie, Texas

Pros: works great, much cheaper than big box store
Cons: shock slow to dissolve, but I mix in bucket.

"Been using the shock and 3" clorine tablets for over 8 year, still happy with the results I get.

I always wait for free shipping and handling, then buy larger quantities.
