What is Oxyclear Oxygen Shock Treatment?
OXYCLEAR is a powerful chlorine-free pool shock treatment designed for both swimming pools and spas. It effectively restores peak water quality by breaking down chloramines and other sanitiser by-products while eliminating organic contamination.
 
If you're looking for a shock treatment for pools that works quickly without harsh chemicals, OXYCLEAR is the perfect choice.
OXYCLEAR is the ideal companion for ionisers, UV, ozone, and traditional chlorine and bromine systems.

Why Use Oxyclear for Swimming Pool Shock Treatment?
Traditionally, pool owners relied on large doses of chlorine to "burn out" sanitiser by-products like chloramine and bromamine. However, this method makes pool water unusable for days.
 
OXYCLEAR was first developed for commercial pools as a fast and effective oxy shock treatment. It uses a mild oxygen compound (monopersulphate) to oxidise residues. The best part? The water can be used immediately after treatment because OXYCLEAR is tasteless and odourless.
 
It rapidly breaks down organic contaminants, including:
Chloramine & bromamine
Trihalomethane (a carcinogen)
Organic oils, sunscreens, and biological contaminants
 
This makes OXYCLEAR the ideal pool shock treatment for regular maintenance, especially during summer when pools and spas are used frequently.
 
How Oxyclear Compares to Other Pool Shock Treatments?
Many oxygen-based swimming pool shock treatments contain inert fillers like sodium bicarbonate or are formulated with alkaline compounds such as sodium carbonate (soda ash), which significantly raise the pool's pH.
 
OXYCLEAR is 100% active ingredient and does not interfere with pH balance. This means you get a highly effective chlorine-free pool shock treatment without the hassle of rebalancing your water chemistry.
 
 
How to Use Oxyclear Oxygen Shock Treatment?
Using OXYCLEAR is simple and convenient:
For swimming pools: Add 500g per 50,000 litres once a month
For spas: Add 50g per 1,000 litres after each use
 
OXYCLEAR is packaged in a large 1.5kg container for cost-effective, long-term treatment. It also regenerates free chlorine in saltwater pools, ensuring better sanitisation. However, since OXYCLEAR is not an approved sanitiser, always maintain recommended sanitiser levels when swimming.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pool Shock Treatment
 
What is pool shock treatment?
Pool shock treatment is the process of adding a high dose of oxidising agents to a pool to eliminate contaminants, break down chloramines, and restore water clarity.
 
How long does pool shock treatment take?
With OXYCLEAR, you can use your pool immediately after treatment because it leaves no taste or smell. Traditional chlorine-based shocks may take 24–48 hours.
 
How do I use pool shock treatment?
Simply add OXYCLEAR at the recommended dose—500g per 50,000L for pools or 50g per 1,000L for spas—and let it circulate.
 
How long should I stay out of the pool after shock treatment?
Unlike traditional chlorine shocks, OXYCLEAR allows immediate swimming after application.
 
What is the difference between chlorine and shock?
Chlorine is a sanitiser that continuously disinfects the water.
Shock treatments (like OXYCLEAR) are used periodically to remove contaminants and restore chlorine effectiveness.
 
When should you put the shock in your pool?
Use pool shock treatment:
Once a month for routine maintenance
After heavy pool usage
After a rainstorm or algae bloom
If water looks cloudy or smells bad
 
How long does it take for a pool to clear up after shock?
OXYCLEAR works immediately with no downtime, unlike chlorine-based treatments that require 24+ hours.
 
How do I know if my pool needs to be shocked?
Signs your pool needs shock treatment:
Cloudy or dull water
Strong chlorine odour
Irritated eyes or skin after swimming
High chloramine levels in water tests
 
What happens if you don't shock your pool?
Without regular shock treatment, pools accumulate organic contaminants, leading to:
Algae growth
Cloudy, unbalanced water
Ineffective sanitisation
