Why? I’m a new pool owner but my understanding is that shocking is not really necessary if the levels are fine and your chlorine (or salt + SWG) is maintained.



That is probably the case. I'm following the advice of my friend who has a salt water pool (done by the same builder not that it matters) and that is his schedule that has worked for 10 years. It was also part of their instructions when they did the initial setup for me and left me with my set of chemicals.

I figure it is cheap insurance to have that fast temporary shock of chlorine.

The shock might be the reason your ph is high. I have salt and if I need additional chlorine I use bleach or liquid chlorine (stronger bleach)
