Welcome to our forum.
Well some like to shock with chlorine, I don't.. Read the the bottle and see if it contains mps ( monopersulfate)? Some sell chlorinated shock which is basically a mix of both, so when you add chlorine after use you are in a sense shocking as well. Just a thought.
Jim, I did ask for MPS because that is all I have heard you all refer to. I didn't know what else to call it. I will go to Leslie's on Monday and see what they have to go with the dichlor that I bought today. I guess I was confused about the whole thing because dichlor said shock and sanitizer (I think I'm using the right words). Thanks
