used non chlorine shock in my bromine pool and seems I may be allergic to it.
Do you know how long it takes for the non chlorine shock to be used up?
I added two doses over a 3 week period. It’s a relatively new pool and I can’t just empty it all out. It’s approx 26,400 litres. I used blue horizon non chlorine shock.
Many thanks

Follow up to water chemistry:
Your alkalinity should be above 100, with a bromine pool I’d aim for 120. That and the pH can affect how your skin feels – I find it’s the number one reason you’ll feel itchy after being in the water. pH of 7.2 will also do it, keep pH at 7.6 and alkalinity at 120 and you should be better.
The non chlorine shock is used up pretty quickly – I would wonder though if you have a low pH issue instead. The pH affects skin much more than any shock product. Bromine has a very low pH so if you are not adding and adjusting that on a weekly basis, it’s likely the issue. I’d get your water tested at a pool store to give you exact results and recommendations on how to balance.
If you get it tested and want to email your numbers in I can also offer some guidance.
