Shock and chlorine tab together?????

Question

whats the worst that can happen? i just added 1 cup of shock to my pool and i didn't know my b/f put a large chlorine tab in about 5 hours ago. whats gonna happen?

Answer 1

This is perfectly fine and helps to keep your pool at shock level for slightly longer ensuring that more organic debris is killed. The high levels from the shock will burn off and you will still have a lower level from the tab afterward. Often when I shock pools I keep 3-4 tabs in the pool to keep the level high for longer.

Answer 2

Nothing, dont worry about it as the chlorine will burn off  in the sun.

Answer 3

its fine
