Boost Chlorine

Chlorine sanitizes your pool to remove bacteria and other hazardous contaminants to keep water clean. Use HTH Super Shock! Treatment to restore chlorine levels that have been depleted by the sun, rain and heavy use.

Kill Bacteria & Algae

Low chlorine levels, poor water circulation and warm weather can encourage bacteria and algae growth. Rid your pool of black algae, mustard algae and green algae and prevent regrowth by shocking your pool once a week. Don’t forget to brush the floor and walls of the pool.

Keep Water Clear

The fast-dissolving formula found in HTH shock treatments acts quickly to restore clarity to your water so you can be back in the swimming pool within 24 hours. Plus, the treatment won’t overstabilize your pool or fade your liners.

Test pH Levels

Dip an HTH Multi-purpose 6-Way Test Strip (sold separately) into the water to measure total alkalinity, pH, free available chlorine (FAC), calcium hardness, and cyanuric acid (CYA) or stabilizer. Balance water, and adjust alkalinity and pH levels, where applicable.

2. Apply Directly to Water

Before handling any chemicals, put on protective gloves and goggles. During evening hours and with the pump running, broadcast the HTH Super Shock! Treatment evenly over a wide area in the deepest part of your pool.

3. Wait & Test Chlorine Levels

If granules settle along the bottom of the pool, use a brush to disperse until granules are dissolved. Once free available chlorine levels are between 1 and 4 parts per million, your pool is ready to use again.

HTH Sanitizers

Your pool stays clean and clear with HTH sanitizer products, designed to effectively guard against bacteria, algae and other organisms. We offer two types of chlorine-based sanitizers: stabilized and unstabilized.

Floater Convenience:

HTH Floater makes pool treatment convenient and easy for the on-the-go pool owner. When used as directed, HTH Floater provides enough sanitizer to last up to 4 weeks. No measuring, no mess, no hassle! The adjustable dial will treat your pool size - up to 20 000 gallons. This is a single-use non-refillable floater that provides convenient, hands-free chlorine treatment. When the floater is empty it tips to let you know it is time to buy another one.

Application instructions:

Tear perforated edge, keep label for future reference Twist Dial to medium setting.

Place the floater in your pool.

Shock your pool.

Adjust dial up or down depending on chlorine level needed.

Replace the floater when it has tipped on its side.

Regular water testing is recommended to insure proper chlorine levels are maintained.

Test Your Water

How often you should test and balance your pool can vary based on how often you use it and a number of other variables, but it’s important to remember that, for chlorine and pH, you should usually test your pool two to three times a week. That may sound like a lot, but water balance is vital for your pool’s health and the health of the people who swim in it. When your pool is out of balance, your sanitizers can be less effective, the water can cause irritation to the skin and eyes, and if the water gets imbalanced enough, it can even damage the pool’s surfaces, structure, or equipment

Shock weekly

In ideal circumstances, shocking your pool just once a week will keep it looking clean and clear, but any heavy rainfall, signs of algae, use by lots of swimmers, or periods of very sunny weather can deplete free chlorine levels, which means an extra dose of HTH Shock is needed.Sundown is optimum time to shock your pool because the chlorine can work without fighting the sun's ultraviolet rays and has more time to restore water clarity.

Overstabilization: What is it?

While small levels of CYA (20 – 40 ppm) do serve a purpose in protecting chlorine from sunlight degradation, too much can cause problems. Over-stabilization (> 90 ppm) is the buildup of cyanuric acid (CYA) in swimming pool water resulting from the use of stabilized sanitizers and stabilized shock products. It significantly decreases the effectiveness of chlorine in removing germs, bacteria and algae.

HTH Pool Care offers sanitizer and shock products that are non-stabilized. These are calcium hypochlorite (cal-hypo) products, do not contain stabilizer and will not cause over-stabilization. Symptoms of overstabilization:

Green water

High chlorine reading with algae

Adding chlorine does not get rid of algae What is the Solution to Overstabilization? If the CYA level is > 90ppm, adjust this by partially draining some water from the pool, refilling with fresh water, balancing the water and switching to HTH non-stabilized sanitizers and shocks.

HTH 42017 Ultimate 3" Chlorinating Tablets

The hth ultimate 3" chlorinating tablets are an effective swimming pool water sanitizer. They are convenient and easy to use and are formulated to protect against chlorine loss from sunlight, and can be used in feeders. They are designed to dissolve slowly to provide a steady source of available chlorine to control the growth of algae, kill bacteria and destroy organic contaminants.

hth Sanitizers

Your pool stays clean and clear with hth sanitizer products, designed to effectively guard against bacteria, algae and other organisms. We offer two types of chlorine-based sanitizers: stabilized and unstabilized.

The hth Benefit:

These convenient and easy to use hth 3” chlorinating tablets are formulated to protect against chlorine loss in direct sunlight, and can be used in feeders. Add 1 tablet per 10 000 gallons of pool water every week, or as often as needed, to maintain a chlorine residual of 1 - 4ppm.

Application instructions:

Place this product in a feeder, floater or skimmer designed for this product. Use in a new feeder or any device which has previously contained only this product, trichloro-s-triazinetrione. Do Not use in feeders that have been used with other water

treatment products. Do Not add other chemicals to the feeder while this product is present. If placed in the skimmer, run the pump a minimum of

eight hours daily. Do Not throw tablets directly into pool or pool surface damage could occur.

Re-entry into treated swimming pools is prohibited above levels of 4 ppm chlorine due to risk of bodily injury.

Test Your Water

How often you should test and balance your pool can vary based on how often you use it and a number of other variables, but it’s important to remember that, for chlorine and pH, you should usually test your pool two to three times a week. That may sound like a lot, but water balance is vital for your pool’s health and the health of the people who swim in it. When your pool is out of balance, your sanitizers can be less effective, the water can cause irritation to the skin and eyes, and if the water gets imbalanced enough, it can even damage the pool’s surfaces, structure, or equipment.

Shock weekly

In ideal circumstances, shocking your pool just once a week will keep it looking clean and clear, but any heavy rainfall, signs of algae, use by lots of swimmers, or periods of very sunny weather can deplete free chlorine levels, which means an extra dose of hth Shock is needed.Sundown is optimum time to shock your pool because the chlorine can work without fighting the sun's ultraviolet rays and has more time to restore water clarity.

Overstabilization: What is it?

While small levels of CYA (20 – 40 ppm) do serve a purpose in protecting chlorine from sunlight degradation, too much can cause problems. Over-stabilization (> 90 ppm) is the buildup of cyanuric acid (CYA) in swimming pool water resulting from the use of stabilized sanitizers and stabilized shock products. It significantly decreases the effectiveness of chlorine in killing germs, bacteria and algae.

hth Pool Care offers sanitizer and shock products that are non-stabilized. These are calcium hypochlorite (cal-hypo) products, do not contain stabilizer and will not cause over-stabilization. Symptoms of overstabilization:

Green water.

High chlorine reading with algae.

Adding chlorine does not get rid of algae What is the Solution to Overstabilization? If the CYA level is > 90ppm, adjust this by partially draining some water from the pool, refilling with fresh water, balancing the water and switching to hth non-stabilized sanitizers and shocks.

hth: here to help extend the life of your salt chlorine generator

Caring for a swimming pool that is equipped with a salt chlorine generator is made simpler by virtue of automation–the device makes chlorine for you. But these devices do not test the water, clean your filter, adjust, balance or handle a weekend pool party, nor should they be considered maintenance-free. Salt chlorine generator cells accumulate contaminants such as scale, oil and grease which reduce cell efficiency and may shorten its life. It is important to note that cells will generally need replacing after 3-5 years of use. The lifetime of a cell is dependent upon several factors, such as bather load and frequency of use. By using hth Salt Pool Care products for your weekly maintenance routine, you can extend the serviceable life of your salt chlorine generator and enjoy many years of use.
