GLB Aqua Silk Chlorine Free Shock Oxidizer

No, this is a shock oxidizer designed to eliminate organic contaminants and clarify water. It should be used in conjunction with your regular sanitizing routine, not as a standalone replacement.

Yes, this formula is specifically compatible with vinyl liners. It is designed to be gentle on pool surfaces and won't cause the bleaching or degradation often associated with harsh chlorine shocks.

For ongoing maintenance, the recommended dosage is one quart per 10,000 gallons of water on a weekly basis. If you are performing a startup, use one gallon per 10,000 gallons.

One of the key benefits of this oxidizer is that it is unaffected by pH levels, meaning it won't disrupt your water chemistry balance. You can apply it without worrying about immediate pH fluctuations.

Because it is chlorine-free and gentle on the skin and eyes, you can generally return to the water much sooner than with traditional chlorine shocks. However, it is always best practice to wait until the product has fully circulated through the pool, typically about 15 to 30 minutes.

This is an excellent choice if you or your family members have sensitive skin, eyes, or hair, as it eliminates the harsh chemical odors and irritation common with chlorine. It is also a great option if you want to avoid the bleaching effects that chlorine can have on swimsuits and pool liners.
