Household bleach to shock?

[CToon]

You can use bleach and the pucks at the same time , you just cannot mix them together (ie putting bleach thru the feeder is a no no).

trichlor puts CYA into the pool and tends to lower ph. As long as you keep those under control , theres no problem using it along with bleach.

The best way to maintain a constant chlorine level (along with everything else ) comes down to regular testing. Staying on top of the conditions is the key

Additionally - keep an eye on the CYA level. I was using both pucks and bleach and ended up w/ a CYA over 120ppm. Had to drain 3/4 and refill only to end up w/ a CYA of 70. It's better than 120, but still requires alot of bleach to keep it clear.
