How much chlorine do I add to slam?

You’ll need to determine how much chlorine you need to add to your pool during the SLAM, which you can select based on the cyanuric acid level of your water. To give you a base to work with, the free chlorine of regular pool water should be anywhere from 2 – 4 ppm.

What should chlorine level be after shock?

A chlorine level of between 10 ppm and 30 ppm, sustained for several hours, is usually needed to remove algae, bacteria and chloramines. Super Shock can deliver 10 ppm per 10,000 gals, per 1 lb. bag, in good water conditions – you may need more.
