ClearView Shimmer N' Shock Granular Dichlor Shock - 5 lb
Granular Chlorine Shock for Swimming Pools
ClearView Shimmer N' Shock is a fast-dissolving granular chlorine treatment for swimming pools, supplied in a 5 lb pail.
Made with 99% sodium dichloro-s-triazinetrione dihydrate (sodium dichlor), this stabilized chlorine product is designed for pool start-up, shock treatment and maintenance applications, according to the manufacturer's directions.
The 99% figure refers to the active ingredient concentration, not the available chlorine percentage.
Β
What Is Shimmer N' Shock Used For?
Shimmer N' Shock is used to increase free chlorine levels in swimming pool water.
The manufacturer's documentation describes applications for:
-
Pool start-up and initial chlorination.
-
Shock treatment following heavy pool use.
-
Pool treatment after heavy rainfall or periods of extreme heat.
-
Treatment when pool water becomes hazy.
-
Chlorine maintenance when water testing indicates a need.
Unlike slow-dissolving chlorine tablets, this granular product is intended for rapid chlorine treatment.
Β
When Should You Use It?
Use Shimmer N' Shock when pool water testing indicates that chlorine treatment is necessary or when shock treatment is appropriate under the product's US label.
Treatment frequency depends on water conditions, pool usage and measured free chlorine levels. There is no universal schedule suitable for every pool.
Β
How Much Shimmer N' Shock Should You Add?
The amount depends on your pool's water volume, current free chlorine concentration and treatment purpose.
The manufacturer's usage documentation expresses dosage rates in oz per 10,000 gallons.
[Publication requirement: Insert the verified dosage table for pool start-up, shock treatment and maintenance from the current US label of the 5 lb pail. Do not publish a dosage based solely on the manufacturer's basic-use sheet.]
Do not assume that the entire 5 lb pail represents a single treatment.
Β
How to Use Shimmer N' Shock
-
Test your pool water before treatment. Use iopool 6-in-1 pool test strips to check free chlorine, pH and cyanuric acid (CYA).
-
Make sure the pool's filtration and circulation systems are operating correctly.
-
Measure the required amount according to the Directions for Use on the US product label.
-
Apply the product only by the method and at the location specified on that label.
-
Test free chlorine again before swimming and follow the label's re-entry requirements.
Never mix concentrated pool chemicals together.

Pool Compatibility and Stabilizer Considerations
Oreq markets Shimmer N' Shock for swimming pools, including vinyl-lined and above-ground pools. Always check the product label and your pool equipment manufacturer's instructions.
Compatibility with hot tubs, bromine systems or saltwater chlorine generators should not be assumed without confirmation.
Because sodium dichlor is stabilized chlorine, its use contributes cyanuric acid (CYA) to the water. Monitor stabilizer levels as part of routine pool testing.
For ongoing, slow-release chlorination, explore 3-inch Jumbo Chlorine Tablets. These are a different type of chlorine treatment and must be used according to their own label instructions. Never mix chlorine products together.
To monitor water conditions between manual tests, EcO Start + Connect smart pool monitor tracks pH, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) and temperature. It does not directly measure free chlorine in ppm, so a separate chlorine test remains necessary.
Important Precautions
Read the complete US product label before use, including all Directions for Use, first-aid information, warnings and storage instructions.
-
Keep the product away from children.
-
Avoid inhaling dust and contact with skin or eyes.
-
Use appropriate protective gloves and eye protection.
-
Never mix with acids or other pool chemicals.
-
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location, away from incompatible materials.
-
Do not allow concentrated product to become contaminated with moisture or other chemicals.
-
Follow the product label's re-entry requirements and verify pool water before swimming.
For additional hazard and handling information, consult the ClearView Shimmer N' Shock Safety Data Sheet.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is ClearView Shimmer N' Shock?
It is a 5 lb granular chlorine product made with 99% sodium dichlor, intended for swimming pool chlorination and shock treatments.
Does Shimmer N' Shock add stabilizer to pool water?
Yes. Sodium dichlor contributes cyanuric acid (CYA), so stabilizer levels should be monitored.
Is Shimmer N' Shock a non-chlorine shock?
No. It is a chlorine-based shock treatment that increases free chlorine levels.
Can an iopool smart monitor replace free chlorine testing?
No. EcO monitors pH, ORP and temperature, but it does not directly measure free chlorine in ppm. Use an appropriate chlorine test before swimming.
