Title: It is effective, but the odor is a bigtime deal breaker.
Product review: This shock is a Trichlor shock, which is not the typical calcium hypochlorite shock you find in most pool stores. I thought I'd give it a shot because it was on Amazon making it convenient, and it wasn't that expensive.Though it did shock the pool effectively, the odor of this product literally took my breath away and also gave me a rapid heartbeat on both occasions I applied it, and I was using a dust mask made for harmful materials + safety glasses. Both during and shortly after application this product emits noxious fumes. You can also smell the product at a lesser intensity for some time after application.While it is effective and cheap, I would never recommend it as its odor is noxious and I had to struggle through using the 5-pack.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
