    Ive found a good method that seems to work quickly.

    I take a mens dress sock (shh my wife doesnt know) and fill with the cya you want to add. I take the top off my skimmer and feed the top of the sock thru the hole in the skimmer top. While holding the top of the sock, I put the top back on the skimmer to measure how long I need the sock to be to be in the flow of water, then tie a nice knot.

    Takes about a day to go through 1.5lbs of conditioner this way. No need to squeeze or mess with it and easy to check.

    That's kinda the way I added my CYA this spring. Put it in an old sock and laid the sock in the skimmer basket and then kept the pump running 24/7 until it was gone.

    If you run the pump 24/7 it doesn't matter much how you add it. It will usually dissolve in about 48 hours (or at least enough of it to protect your chlorine) I just pour it SLOWLY into the skimmer with the pump running. It's the easiest way.
