When should you shock your swimming pool? You should shock your pool once a week, or at least once every other week to help maintain sanitized water. But when is the right time to add shock? The answer: at night. Chlorine pool shock is unstabilized, and the sun will burn off the chlorine before it has time to do its job. And wait at least 8 hours after shocking to go swimming again.
