Question

This my sound dumb but, where is the best place to put the pool chemicals?? In the skimmer?

Answer 1

I put the chlorine in the skimmer only and the rest i sprinkle around the sides of the pool.You would waste the shock if put in the skimmer because it doesn't get time to dissolve first.

Answer 2

Dont put Burn out or any other shock agents in the skimmer, but chlorine sticks should go in the skimmer or a floating chlorinater, all others like algecide and soidiombicarbinate around the side.
