Can You Use A Hot Tub Right After You Shock It?
Yes. It’s actually recommended that you use a hot tub right after you shock it in order to sanitize the water and kill any bacteria or algae that may be present.

How Soon After The Shocking Hot Tub Can You Go In?
Depending on the amount of chlorine in your hot tub (most have 3-5 ppm chlorine) and the number of bathers using it, you may need to wait 15 minutes to an hour after shocking before using your tub.
When shocking, you should always follow the recommended instructions of your hot tub manufacturer.
Over time, water can become dechlorinated and contaminated with bacteria, it’s important to shock your tub regularly to keep things clean and bacteria-free.
Most importantly, make sure that all of the chlorine has dissipated from the water before you get in – no one wanted eyes or green hair!
