I'm looking for pool shock to sanitize my drinking water. Will this work?

I have heard of people using pool shock to sanitize drinking water but I can not promote the use of any pool shock for this purpose. You will want to contact the NSF for further information.

What is the non-chlorine shock used for? When would I use it?

A non-chlorine shock is great for oxidizing the water which helps the chlorine work better. Non-chlorine shock is typically used in spas that use bromine and in chlorine based pools as a "shock and swim" meaning you can shock the pool with the non-chlorine shock and swim 15 minutes later.

I purchased this pool shock but when I added it to my pool my chlorine level stayed the same. Was this a bad batch?

A non-chlorine shock will not increase your chlorine levels. It is designed to oxidize/sanitize the water without increasing the chlorine. If you want to increase the chlorine when you shock, you will need this.

Do I need to mix this shock in a bucket of water before adding it to the pool?

The non-chlorine shock is a fast acting oxidizing shock and can be added directly to the swimming pool.

I was told that I could use a non-chlorine shock even if I am using chlorine tabs in my swimming pool. Is that true?

How long after shocking my pool with chlorine can we swim

With this non-chlorine pool shock you can swin in the pool 15 minutes after treatment. With regular chlorine shock you should wait 12-24 hours (after chlorine has returned to normal levels) before swimming in the pool.

Is this the same as fresh n clear potassium peroxymonosulfate? That's what I've been using for years.
