2. The NIGHT BEFORE the party: Shock the pool well. Depending on your pool's size & how many partiers you're expecting, consider doing a double or triple dose. Even if the chlorine level is a high at party time, it will soon be dissipated and used up as kids & adults swim, play & have fun. Be sure to let the filter run overnight. Time required: 10 - 15 minutes.
3. The MORNING of the party: Perform some simple, regular maintenance. Vacuum the pool, clean out the baskets, backwash or clean the filter cartridges. Retest the pool water. I know the chlorine will be high; that's OK. Time required: about 30 - 60 minutes.
4. At a break DURING the party when everybody is out of the water enjoying food or drink: shock the pool with a "lite" shock. We recommend a Lite shock because you can use the pool in just 15 minutes after addition!
5. AFTER the party: Shock the pool. While you're cleaning up the yard & the grill, just simply shock the pool. In fact, wait until you're finished, so that YOU can take one last relaxing dip. Let the filter run overnight again. The next day, you can test the water & make any adjustments necessary.
You've done your duty for the day!
