    Bleach and Chlorine are two different names for the same thing (sodium hypochlorite).

    (says the newbie who is learning as well)

    If you do pour the bleach into the skimmer make sure your pump is running at the time and that the chlorinator is turned off.

    The water flows from my filter, thru the chlorinator and into the pool so I cannot shut it off. If I use bleach I would think I could just disconnect the chlorinator.
