Large quantities of hydrogen peroxide shock are added to a swimming pool to
“shock” it. Shocking breaks down waste products and re-establishes a positive
level of sanitizer. While many types of shock can be used with chlorine or bromine
pools, only hydrogen peroxide shock can be used to shock biguanide pools.
APPLICATION: Swimming pools
RANGE: 0–300 ppm Hydrogen Peroxide Shock
MDL: 5 ppm
METHOD: Hydrogen peroxide reacts with an excess of potassium
iodide through the action of a catalyst and buffer to
release an equivalent amount of iodine. The iodine in turn
reacts with diethyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPD) to produce
a pink-red color in proportion to the iodine released.
SAMPLE HANDLING
& PRESERVATION:
Hydrogen peroxide is not stable in aqueous solutions.
Exposure to sunlight and agitation will accelerate the
reduction of hydrogen peroxide in dilute solutions. For
best results start analysis immediately after sampling.
INTERFERENCES: The likelihood of other oxidizing compounds interfering
with this method is eliminated by the presence of
hydrogen peroxide. Manganese may interfere and should
be removed before analysis
