Can you shock a pool without the pump running?

Yes, you can shock a pool without the pump running, but it is not as effective. The pump helps to circulate the water and distribute the shock evenly throughout the pool. Without the pump running, the shock will only reach the areas of the pool that are directly exposed to it.

1) Turn off the pump and filter system. 2) Broadcast the shock evenly over the surface of the pool. 3) Use a brush to spread the shock around the pool. 4) Leave the shock in the pool for at least 30 minutes. 5) Turn the pump and filter system back on and run it for at least 6 hours.
