    Default Dichlor poured into skimmer?

    Would it be alright for me to add 4 ozs partially diluted granular dichlor into the skimmer?

    It's okay as long as the pump is running, and as long as there is not any trace whatsoever of any other chem along the lines, especially the trichlor. If there's any chance of another chem being in the skimmer, then I'd play it safe, dilute it, and pour it into the return stream.
