HTH Salt Shock Dichlor 5x12oz Packets — Fast-Dissolve 56% Chlorine for Salt Pools

HTH 52047 Salt Shock is a fast-dissolving dichlor chlorine treatment supplied in five 12 oz packets, formulated to quickly clear contaminants in salt-chlorinated pools while remaining gentle on salt chlorine generators.

Keep your saltwater pool clear and balanced with a targeted shock that combines speed and convenience. This concentrated dichloro formula contains 56% available chlorine and dissolves on contact to tackle cloudy water, algae beginnings, and everyday organic load. Packaged in single-use 12 oz pouches, the set of five is sized for routine weekly maintenance and emergency clarity boosts, simplifying dosing and reducing handling of loose powder.

How does this salt shock work with my salt chlorine generator?

HTH 52047 is formulated as dichlor, which is compatible with salt chlorine generators and pool surfaces when used as directed. It raises free chlorine rapidly without introducing large amounts of stabilizer or harsh additives, helping the generator maintain consistent sanitation afterward.

• 56% available chlorine for effective oxidizing power
• Dichlor chemistry designed to work alongside salt chlorine systems
• Safe for common pool finishes when properly diluted

When and how often should I use the 5x12oz packets?

For routine prevention, shock your pool weekly or when test results suggest low sanitizer levels or cloudiness. Each 12 oz packet delivers a concentrated dose; follow label directions and your pool’s volume to determine exact dosing, and always test water before and after treatment.

• Weekly shock recommended to prevent most common pool issues
• Packet format eliminates measuring and reduces spills
• Use HTH 6-Way Test Strips to confirm chlorine and pH twice weekly

Will this product dissolve quickly and clear water fast?

Yes — the formula is designed to dissolve rapidly on application so the chlorine enters the water immediately. That quick dissolution accelerates the oxidizing action, helping to clear cloudiness and reduce contaminants faster than slow-dissolving alternatives.

• Instant-dissolve packets for fast treatment
• Effective at reducing organic contaminants and early algae growth
• Allows quicker return to balanced maintenance with your generator

How do I use these packets safely and effectively?

Handle single-use packets with dry hands and follow label directions for your pool’s gallonage. Broadcast the dissolved contents around the pool perimeter with the pump running, wait the recommended circulation time, and re-test with HTH 6-Way Test Strips before swimming.

• Apply with filtration running to distribute chlorine evenly
• Test free chlorine and pH after treatment before swimming
• Store packets in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight
