Usually it is 3 - 5 times the normal dose of chlorine. It destroys algae, organic contaminants, bacteria and oxidises chloramines eradicating that horrible chloramine (chlorine) smell. Remember that these contaminants if they are in the pool water will also be hiding out in the pipes, pump and filter! The pool should be super chlorinated following heavy bather loads or at least on a monthly basis. Tip: Even if you have a salt water chlorinator (it may be automatic), it doesn't know that you have had lots of people in the pool – or that the dog has been swimming or that the wind has blown many contaminants into the pool.
