Answer: Once a week
Explanation: During peak season, it's recommended to shock your pool once a week. You may need to shock more often if there’s heavy use, a rainstorm, or signs of algae or cloudy water. Shocking helps break down contaminants, restore water clarity, and ensure sanitizer effectiveness. Regular shocking is especially important in hotter months when bacteria and algae growth are more likely. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for your specific shock treatment.
