Shock Therapy: When Your Pool Actually Needs It

Is shocking your pool every week really necessary—or just chlorine overkill? In this episode, I break down when you actually need to shock your pool, how to tell if it’s time, and why doing it too often can backfire. I’ll share what combined chlorine really means, how to reach breakpoint chlorination, and how to avoid wasting money on unnecessary chemicals. Whether you’re a weekend pool warrior or a new owner trying to decode that “chlorine smell,” this one’s for you.
