I am not familiar with the sticks, so I looked up Smart Sticks. They go in the skimmer basket.


You can shock with bleach by adding directly into your pool. You can do it in front of the return or walk around the edge of the pool. Another thing you can do is remove the skimmer basket with the sticks inside it. Add your bleach to the skimmer. Then place the skimmer basket with the smart sticks back in place.



DANGER - NEVER ADD BLEACH TO SKIMMER WHILE SMART STICKS ARE IN THE SKIMMER BASKET.

Good Luck!
