XtraBlue

Would Recommend

I have a 20,000 gallon pool and shocked it using 6 containers of XtraBlue. It immediately killed some algae and changed the color of the water from a dirty green to pretty blue. I want to know how much shock I should use going forward? Does anyone know?

application/dosage rate????

Would Not Recommend

can't find the product application rate anywhere on the product packaging nor the web site.. basis information... lb/gallon.. that's a big bust and gets folks into trouble while doing their own pool maintenance..

Spill proof great chlorine

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] (First off I received a free sample of this) I have bought this several times. It's simply a great Chlorine that kills germs, not clothes. I was tired of liquid chlorine splashes whenever the wind blew while trying to pour chlorine into the pool from even 6in above the water. This stuff makes no mess, and it does an even better job than the liquid I bought. I don't have to measure it that much at all. Just spread the whole bottle on my pool...

Easier than ever

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this product for about a year. I love how easy it is to use. I also use the Clorox pool test strips and water analysis website. I typically add a jar of the Xtra Blue Shock weekly. This couldn't be easier.

Great results

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Much easier to use than other shock products I've used before. No scissors or product clumping, simply unscrew the top and pour it in. Keeps my pool crystal clear.

Beefed up shock

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After Louisiana's historical flood, this product made quick work to clear my murky water. This is like a shock on steroids!

Very nice product

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Started using the xtra blue shock a few weeks ago, and it's really dining a nice job keeping the water crystal clear. The bottle with the screw off lid is a nice touch. No bag to rip open and risk spilling it on the pool deck. Will definitely be adding this to my regular pool routine.

Birthday Saved

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I knew the newly acquired pool needed some TLC because of the lack of clarity and green starting to sprout in small areas. Being new to pool care, I knew I needed to do something. I also knew I wanted to be able to invite family over that weekend for a swim. What I didn't know was a surprise birthday pool party was already planned. After taking a test strip reading, I dumped in the recommended shock in hopes of swimming by that Sunday. My frie...

Incredible

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so pleased with this product. It is so easy to use and so effective. It is great to have shock and an algae killer in the same product. It makes pool maintenance a breeze

So Easy!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used the Shock XtraBlue twice now, and have been extremely happy with it thus far. It brings my chlorine level up quickly, with no clouding. I know my pool is being properly sanitized. Add in the clarifier and algeacide, and I have a total product that can be used all summer long to keep a clean and clear pool.

Easy and Effective

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this product for two reasons. First, the packaging is easy to use and recyclable. I appreciate the environmental concern and don't have to think about directions when applying - just open and pour. Second, the product is extremely effective. My pool was at 0 ppm free chlorine, but still clear. I shocked and checked ph and chlorine levels the day after and found everything to be back in line.
