- JeffVery good productI’ve always been happy with In The Swim pool products and this is no exception. This along with a stabilizer keeps my chlorine levels in check. Tablets are made strong enough so that there is minimal breakage. They last a long time without breaking down.
- Lauri BrownWorks/ valueGood product and good price
- BuyerConsistent, effective, satisfied.OH BABY, worked as expected.
- felixrangelGood priceGood product at a good price
- Paul G.Not using in pools - Good for Emergency Use.I picked up this pool shock specifically to keep on hand for emergency situations rather than for pool maintenance. My goal was to have a reliable, long‑lasting sanitizer I could mix with water if needed, and this product fits that purpose well so far.
The individually packaged 1‑pound bags make storage simple, and the high concentration means a little goes a long way. It seems durable and stable enough to keep on the shelf until I need it, which is exactly what I was looking for.
Since I’m not using it in a pool, I can’t speak to its performance there, but as an emergency‑preparedness item, it’s been a solid addition. I’m giving it four stars mainly because I haven’t had to rely on it in a real emergency yet, so long‑term effectiveness is still something I can’t fully judge.
Overall, it’s a practical product to have on hand, and it gives me some peace of mind knowing I have another option if I ever need to sanitize water quickly. - PapaKnowsStuffGet Ready For A Shocking ExperienceGet ready for **a shocking experience**—the clean kind!
