Customer Reviews for Kem-Tek™ Super Shock Quick Pool Cleaner
Kem-Tek™ Super Shock Quick Pool Cleaner
Kem-Tek Super Shock Quick is a patented blend of ingredients that can be added directly into pool water without pre-dissolving. Chloramines are formed when nitrogen containing organic compounds such as suntan oils, cosmetics, perspiration, leaves, grass etc., are combined with the chlorine residue in your pool water. The resulting chloramines provide no sanitizing function and can actually cause strong chlorine odor, cloudy water and eye irritation. Kem-Tek Super Shock Quick destroys swimmer waste and other impurities that cause cloudy water. It dissolves faster than ordinary shock products without leaving residue. It does not increase the pH of the pool water or contain calcium that causes scale build-up
Case contains (28) 13.5-ounce bags
Each 13.5 oz. bag treats 20,000 gallons of water*
Patented technology
Controls algae and bacteria*

Swimming pool water disinfectant

Great Product
Pros: dissolve fast and keep the water clean and clear
Cons: we can't swim the same day that we use the product, it burns our eyes if we do
"I've been using this product for my inground pool for over a year. I have never had problems with my pool since then. The the water is nice and clear. If you follow the instruction, you won't have algae problem.
Good value!!!"

Not as advertised
Cons: not as advertised
Model Number: Item #049
"Package contains 13.5 oz and claims to treat 20,000 gal (large, bold type). First paragraph on back reads 15,000-20,000.
Last paragraph of fine print recommends
2 lbs for 20,000 gal for superchlorination
every 10-14 days in the summer. I can tell
you that 2 lbs last only about 5-6 days with
pH control and algeacide. 13.5 oz may be
fine in the winter, but who needs it then? The company should delete the mis-
leading advertising and package the
product in 16 oz/10,000 gal like all the
other suppliers. It is actually more
expensive than competing brands."

Needs Cool and dry place
Cons: storage requirements
"So I need to keep my chlorine in the house. It must be kept dry and cool. Keeping chlorine in the house can create environmental problems.
I just left it outside in box with other chemicals and hope for the best."

Finally! A product that performs as it claims
"This stuff was amazing. I have been fighting cloudy water and clinging algae for months - since the beginning of summer. One packet of this stuff, and a half hour later, the algae fell off the walls and my pool turned crystal clear. Two weeks later, it is still clear! No smell, no residual, no fuss, no wait to swim. I will be stocking this from now on."

I experienced the same problems
"Please head the words of PoolGuy, dmanf, and Phillmille. I wish I had read theeir reviews before my first purchase months ago. It would have saved me lots of headaches and money.
Fortunately, I was getting ready to reorder more shock when I saw these comments. First, like PhilMille we have had our pool 19 years and never had problems. This year I bought this product due for the value. Bad move! After having the water tested, I was told, like PhilMille, to double the shock dose which I did. No improvement, so I was told to do it again. Chlorine level stayed low, but the Cyanuric Acid did just as Poolguy warned and skyrocketed to over 300 and PH dropped low. After lots of money spent on Soda Ash to fix the PH, the Cyanuric acid remained high to the point I had to drain the pool for the first time ever. Now I refilled the pool, but after adding the shock the chlorine level still remains low. I need shock to bring the level up, but nearly made the mistake of adding this chemical, Trichloro-s-triazinetrione, back into my pool. Thanks guys. I could have had the same problems all over again. So warning to all, My water was always sparkling clear and low maintenance until this product."

easy way to keep algae out
"This is the first year in 3 that we have not had algae in our pool during the summer. Purchased Costco's bucket of chlorine tablets & this shock product early in the year. I used them almost every week (did skip some since we had a cooler summer). It saved me from buying liquid chlorine & you can't beat Costco's prices. By the way...I am only halfway thru them so I probably will have enough to last through Spring 2012."

Trichloro-s-triazinetrione
"Pool guy is 100% correct. Check wikipedia for this stuff. You're asking for a headache using this stuff unless you want to drain your pool periodically."

WORST PRODUCT
Pros: none
Cons: waste of money
"THIS STUFF IS GARBAGE. It is the worst shock I ever used. I maintained my pool for over 30 years and NEVER used any product that was as bad as this. Even tripling the dosage did not improve the pool. Visible Algae growth would not be removed. I WOULD NEVER buy this product again or any other product from KEM TECH. My pool has always been pristine, this year, I'm closing it early. Next year, I'll go back to a NAME brand."

good value for the money
Pros: good pool shock, reasonably priced
Cons: does not prevent algea or stains
"I have used it for about a month now. Its a good value for the money as a regular pool shock. It does not help with algea or stain prevention. I still have to use the algeacide and stainaway for that. It does have the strong chlorine odor, but that dissipates quickly. I recommend using it at the end of the day, with the pump running all night for it to be swimable in the morning."

Effective and Good Support
Pros: storage pouches, effectiveness, price, tech support helpful
"Decided to try this product in lieu of Leslie's overpriced products. Couldn't be happier. Convenient pouches with perfect dose for my 20k pool. Live in TX, about to shatter 43 days over 100 degrees, so have to add 2x week, but all levels (chlorine, PH, stabilizer, etc) all remain in perfect zone! Some algae started growing while we went on vacation. Called their tech support and he walked me through the proper amounts to add and frequency. I also had purchased their algaecide. When I combined with the shock was a 1-2 punch that knocked it out in 48hrs. Will definitely buy again. And yes, it smells strong, but that's because it works!"

AMAZING!
Pros: price, effectiveness, easy of storage vs jugs, half years worth in one box!
Cons: smell
"I use to use one jug (2.5gal) of chlorine a week and barely make 5-6 days before algae. Now with Kem-Tek one bag every week 7-8 days and i have yet to see any algae at all or green growth this is half the price of a jug and more affective cant beat it! Recommend to anyone where in South Florida cause the pools in the summer here eat chlorine but not this stuff."

Okay
"Not an expert, just wanted to say that my last batch purchased was a full 16 oz. Typical that suppliers are giving less but charging the same. Last batch treated 25,000 vs current size only treats 20,000. I guess just have to deal with it."

Economical
"Our pool holds 14,600 gallons of water, so no matter where we bought the shock, one bag was never enough. This shock treats 20,000 gallons so for us it's way more bang for our buck."

Great Value
Pros: allows swimming in 15 minutes
Cons: did not kill the boatmen
"This is the best value that I have found and it was well below the local stores prices and it was delivered to my home. I noted that it did not kill the boatmen in my pool.... it weakened them and I went after them with my pool tools.... kind of like a fishing adventure. But all in all it worked great."
