Product Details
One bucket, two jobs. AquaDoc Chlorine Free Oxidizing Shock is built for owners who maintain both a pool and a hot tub and don't want separate buckets of shock for each. The 10 lb size handles weekly pool oxidation plus regular spa shocking from a single product.
The active is potassium peroxymonosulfate (MPS), the standard oxygen-based shock active. Instead of adding more chlorine, MPS works by breaking down the organic load in your water: body oils, lotions, sunscreen, sweat, and other residue that accumulate from regular use. That organic load is what fuels chloramines, which are the source of that strong chlorine smell people often mistake for high chlorine. Reducing the organic load helps reduce chloramines and helps the water look and feel cleaner.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this with a saltwater pool?
Yes. It's compatible with saltwater, chlorine, and bromine systems. The MPS active works alongside your salt cell sanitizer to handle the organic oxidation load.
How long do I need to wait before swimming after using it?
Most non-chlorine shock products allow re-entry within 15 minutes after the product has dissolved and circulated. Always follow the wait time printed on the product label, which is the authoritative source.
Will it affect chlorine or sanitizer levels in my pool?
No. The MPS active oxidizes organic residue without adding to or interfering with your free chlorine, bromine, or salt sanitizer levels. Some test kits can briefly read MPS as combined chlorine, but it doesn't actually raise chlorine.
Is it safe with my pool equipment and surfaces?
Yes when used as directed. It's compatible with standard pool surfaces (plaster, vinyl, fiberglass, tile), liners, and equipment. Always dose at the rate printed on the label and add with the pump running.
Is this a sanitizer or a shock?
This is an oxidizing shock, not a sanitizer. It doesn't disinfect or replace chlorine, salt, or bromine. Maintain your normal sanitizer routine alongside this product. It handles the oxidation side of water care, your sanitizer handles disinfection.
What's the difference between this and chlorine shock?
Chlorine shock adds free chlorine to the water and is used to kill algae, bacteria, and burn off chloramines via super-chlorination. Non-chlorine shock (MPS) oxidizes organic residue without adding chlorine, so you can typically swim or soak sooner and the water doesn't have the strong post-shock chlorine smell.
