If your pool turns green while using Sun Shock
…
See steps above. If you know it’s working, but your pool turns green, then try moving to a sunny spot. You
will need to treat your pool with chlorine (shock) to bring it back to clear, but you can keep your Sun
Shock in the pool. If you know that it’s ionizing, then if it’s sunny, your pool should not turn green.
If it does, th
en recalculate the volume of water in your pool. If it’s above 22,000 gallons, then you need
two Sun Shock units. (It happens quite frequently that customers buy only one when they really need
two.)
I see purple stains!
If you happen to notice a bright purple stain in or around your pool…or on the Sun Shock itself, it is a
result of the presence of cyanuric acid. Sun Shock is designed to be used without any other chemicals.
Cyanuric acid is typically used as a stabilizer in chlorine tabs or chlorine products. If you see more
significant staining than simply around the Sun Shock itself, you may want to remove the Sun Shock until
you can get your cyanuric acid levels down. There are several products on the market that claim to
reduce cyanuric acid levels. You can also drain water from your pool and replace with fresh water. Sun
Shock is designed to be used without chemicals. Copper and cyanuric acid can create a purple stain. The
stain itself should dissipate, but it may take a few weeks if its stained your pool plaster.
Best way to clean
We have found the best way to clean your Sun Shock is outside, when the copper anode is wet. Carefully
unscrew the vinyl thumbscrew and remove the basket. Brush the coils and anode with the wire brush
included. (It doesn’t have to be perfectly clean) Replace screw and toss it back in your pool.
