Some Questions Using Bleach

[ivyleager]

Waterbear, you said:

"If you have an inline feeder for your trichlor do not put bleach in the skimmer even if the feeder is empty. You can walk alround the pool and dribble the bleach in or you can slowly pour it into the stream from the return so the water stream carries it around the pool. Brush after you add it to help it mix."

I have an inline feeder, which I do not use and is set to off, and pour my bleach slowly through the skimmer. What is the reasoning/mechanics on this?

Thanks,

Trichlor does not play well with other forms of chlorine. Even if you clean the feeder there might be traces of it left. The reaction can be violent. Just better to be safe than sorry.
