    To be fair, when I was a pool boy (for my home pool), this is basically how we would get the water ready (“shocking” it with a load of bleach, bc it has lots of chlorine)

      The article says they dumped Hydogen Peroxide AND bleach into the pool… that causes a reactive chemical mix decomposing the effectiveness of both chemicals and creating dangerous situation for wildlife and people nearby…

      Besides. Even if just shocking the water with only hypo, you should test the waters chemical balance beforehand to gauge the effectiveness of the shock, otherwise you’re wasting a ton of money.
