About This Product

About This Item HTH Shock Advanced is the powerful 4-in-1 formula with Cal Hypo that kills and prevents bacteria and algae as well as reduces chlorine odor and irritation for crystal clear, healthy water. Traditional chlorine products contain cyanuric acid (CYA). When too much CYA builds up, it can cause overstabilization or chlorine lock and cloud your water. The fast-acting, fast-dissolving Cal Hypo formula in HTH Shock Advanced provides chlorination without adding extra CYA for a beautiful sparkle all season. This product is great for all pool types and won't fade your pool liner. How To Use HTH Shock Advanced Follow the on-pack instructions according to your pool size to add HTH Shock Advanced directly to swimming pool water or skimmer. Make sure to use a clean, dry scoop. For best results, apply HTH Shock Advanced as part of your weekly pool care routine to keep free available chlorine levels between 1 and 4 ppm. About HTH Pool Care HTH was developed with the pool owner in mind. We know that maintaining your pool water can be a lot of work. That's why we're here every step of the way, helping you clear the uncertainty from pool care. With economical, easy-to-use solutions, HTH is designed to work hard so you're prepared to tackle whatever life throws in your pool. From balancing your water to treating green water, we offer a full line of products to keep your pool water healthy and your swimmers happy.

    Can this be added directly to a vinyl lined pool or does it need to be dissolved first?
    ByJun 25, 2025

    Answer This Question

    Hi Heidi, this shock should be added directly to the pool, not pre-dissolved. To keep the liner safe, it's always recommended to balance the pH prior to use, and to brush up any undissolved granules that fall to the bottom of the pool. If you have any further questions, please feel free to give us a call at 866-484-7665 or chat with us at hthpools.com. We're Here to Help!

        Why is this shock in the 12 pack at $3.95 per lb. listed as "Out of Stock," but this 6 pack is available at $5.37 per lb.? Will Home Depot price match its own product being that it's the exact same product just the quantity is packaged differently?

          This HTH Shock Advanced is easy to use and convenient since each bag is pre-measured. It dissolves well and helps keep the pool water clear, especially for weekly maintenance or after heavy use. I like that it comes in a 6-pack, so it’s easy to keep extra on hand during pool season. Overall, a good value and reliable product for regular pool care.

          Perfect for weekly use
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Advanced Shock Treatment is perfect for weekly use. With the high temperature shocking weekly is a must here in Arizona. The 1lb bag are just the right amount to help keep chemicals balanced and keep the water crystal clear.

            Works fast and effectively :)
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After weeks of dreary gloomy rainy weather my pool turned 50 shades of green- ugh. Not shocking weekly as recommended, not even keeping chlorine tabs in the floater because I just didn't care since we weren't able to swim anyway, big summer bummer set in. Finally the sun appeared and everyone wants to dip their toes again so in went the HTH Shock Advanced (following the instructions on the package) with fingers crossed and swimsuits ready. Our pool is about 6,000 gallons and normally I shock weekly with half a packet recommended for 10,000 gallons but last evening an entire packet was gently sprinkled across the green stinky water with the filter running. There IS a very strong chlorine fume at first so be sure not to take a big whiff or stand directly over the treated water very long. With sweet dreams of sparkling clear water we went to sleep hoping for the best and not really expecting to swim today BUT SURPRISE our water is clear!! Chlorine level was right at 4ppm so we waited until afternoon to jump in. So excited to enjoy what's left of summer in our pool, I really thought it would just get drained and taken down but HTH saved the day!! I've always trusted and used HTH chemicals in our pools, since childhood actually, but this was the first time I've dealt with the aqua/green mess...which in a way should tell you something - 40+ years of HTH caring for our pools and no green.

                My pool has never been so clean!
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We go through a lot of chemicals in our short season so buying a pack like this is perfect to keep my pool perfectly clean at all times. I noticed that this was the "Ultra" version and decided to go with it. Boy am I happy about that! my pool has never looked so crystal clear all year long! It's absolutely amazing! I have been getting complements all season and the ONLY thing that is different this year is using this shock. Highly recommend it!

                  HTH for perfect disinfection
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like to shock our pool during the midsummer months. HTH is a trusted name and have used their products for many years. Since we have owned pools! The shock not only provides the necessary disinfection, it also made the water super clear! I like the convenience of the individual bags per treatment. Very happy with this product! You can’t go wrong with HTH!

                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this shock because it makes my pool look beautiful and a gorgeous blue color. Easy to use, does not clump up. Spreads around the whole pool quickly. No cloudiness at all. I definitely recommend this shock to others. I will definitely use this product again.

                        Great Value
                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved the HTH Pool Care Shock Advanced, came with several packages in one convenient bag, we poured it in the pool and it worked super fast especially after a good rain. Easy to handle a smaller nag then a tub and you have the exact measurement you need ready to pour in. Can be easily found in any store you are showing in with is a plus...

                          Convenient and Works
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having a pool is a lot of work and requires a great deal of chemicals to keep the water from becoming cloudy and staying blue. Wisconsin does not provide us with a long pool season. So we defiantly try to get the most out of it. Having pool chemicals that are both convenient and clears up the cloudy water and brings out the blue water is a must. The HTH Shock advanced is easy to use. At night we open the package and pour into the pool over a wide area with the pump filter running and by morning our pool is clear and blue.
