I have found that adding Calcium Chloride to a large (Lowe's) bucket full or water and stirring it until it is totally dissolved and then distributing it around the pool, to be a real pain. Someone suggested a skimmer sock or something that can fit over the mouth of a skimmer basket that has a fine mesh. I have tried the latter with good success as far as adding the Calcium Chloride directly to the skimmer. I have been doing it in small batches and waiting for it to be completely dissolved before adding more.
Here's my question. By adding Calcium Chloride this way I am increasing the CH of the water in the pool plumbing as well as the SWG, albeit for a short period of time. Could this damage the SWG plates if the SWG is generating Chlorine?
