How to put the bleach in?

[medvampire]

You should never pour bleach through the skimmer with a auto chlorinator in line. The result could be very dangerious. I just pour slowly in front of the return jet. Pour slow enough that you dont have slugs forming or get splashed on (i have runied shirts by splash).

I hereby nominate "hulla"'s post, the third in this thread, for the funniest one liner of the month.

Slug -- large amount of chem added that may hit liner of the pool. ie "a slug of acid"

Thanks for all those replies. I think I am going to try it. I still a little nervous. How does the bleach compare to shock? Does 1 galloon of bleach the same a 1lb of shock? or does it compare differently? Thanks again to all who responded. This is all new to me.

I am sure there is a comparison rate but it is better to use bleachcalc written by one the pros here.
You can down load it here.
If you have any more questions please post with set of testing results and the pros here can help you.
I would reconmend getting a good test kit like the one Ben sells here or better yet buy one of Bens kits.
