How to apply chlorine shock granules:

3- Pre-dissolve this product in a clean plastic container at a maximum rate of 100g of product for 2.2 gallons (10 litres) of water. Stir well to ensure product is fully dissolved. Add the resulting solution to the pool whilst the pump is turned on preferably near the water inlets to aid distribution.
4- Repeat dose/application if necessary to achieve the desired level.
5- After using this product, pool water may become temporarily cloudy, so keep the filtration pump running until it clears.
