Why Poolife® Rapid Shock is a Must-Have for Every Pool Owner

Fast-Dissolving Formula for Immediate Results

Unlike traditional granular chlorine products that can take hours to dissolve or leave residue behind, Poolife Rapid Shock features a fine, quick-dissolving formulation that activates instantly on contact with pool water. This means faster sanitizing action, clearer water, and reduced downtime—so your pool is ready to enjoy again in no time.

Powerful Chlorine Oxidizer

With a high concentration of available chlorine, Rapid Shock aggressively attacks and eliminates algae, bacteria, and contaminants that cause cloudiness, discoloration, and odors. It’s particularly effective after heavy swimmer loads, rain, or wind-blown debris.

Perfect for All Pool Types

Poolife Rapid Shock is suitable for in-ground and above-ground pools, and safe for all major surface types including vinyl, fiberglass, plaster, and concrete. Whether you manage a backyard pool or oversee pool maintenance at a community or commercial facility, this product is a versatile, go-to choice.

No CYA or Stabilizer

This unstabilized shock contains no cyanuric acid (CYA), allowing you to shock your pool without altering long-term water balance. It’s a great complement for pools using stabilized chlorine (like tablets), and ideal for those monitoring their CYA levels closely to avoid chlorine lock.

When to Use Poolife Rapid Shock

Use Rapid Shock any time your pool water looks cloudy, has a strong odor, or shows visible algae or organic buildup. It’s also ideal after:

  • Heavy swimming activity

  • Rainstorms or wind-blown debris

  • Periods of intense sun exposure

  • Pool openings and closings

  • Weekly maintenance to prevent algae growth and buildup


Recommended Dosage Guidelines

Situation Dosage
Weekly maintenance 1 lb per 10,000–12,000 gallons

Visible algae outbreak 2 lbs per 10,000 gallons (brushed in)
Water is cloudy/dull 1 lb per 10,000 gallons

Pro Tip: Always shock your pool in the evening to avoid chlorine degradation by sunlight. Keep your filter system running overnight for best results.


How to Apply

  1. Test your water first to ensure pH is within 7.2–7.6 for optimal chlorine activity.

  2. With the pump running, broadcast the Rapid Shock evenly across the deep end of your pool.

  3. Allow the pump and filter to circulate the product for 8–12 hours.

  4. Brush pool walls and floor if algae or heavy contamination is present.

  5. Retest your water before swimming—ensure free chlorine is below 3 ppm.


Storage & Safety

  • Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area

  • Keep the bag sealed and avoid contact with moisture

  • Never mix with other chemicals, especially acids

  • Use gloves and goggles when handling

  • Keep out of reach of children and pets


Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this product compatible with saltwater pools?
Yes, it can be used in salt pools to supplement chlorine levels or for shock treatments.

Q: Can I use this with a chlorine tablet feeder system?
Absolutely. Since Poolife Rapid Shock is unstabilized, it complements stabilized tablet systems perfectly without overloading your pool with CYA.

Q: Will this affect my pool’s calcium hardness?
No. Unlike Cal Hypo shocks, Rapid Shock does not increase calcium levels, making it an ideal choice for pools already balancing hardness levels.

  • Commercial pool operators needing a quick, reliable sanitizer

  • Pool service technicians managing multiple pool types
