I believe he has and I'm running a test he requested now.

Sorry for the confusion. I don't have a skimmer. I dissolved the original application in about 3 gallons of warm water, stirring about every 15 minutes for 5 hours until most of it was dissolved (I thought). Then I dumped it in the pool and used a brush to spread around any granules that were on the bottom and I didn't run my pump for 24 hours to prevent the granules that were left from going into the filter. Sorry for any confusion.
