Can I Add Shock Through Skimmer? Just This One Time - Hurricane Sally.

[dino1956]

I usually add it to the pool but we just went through Hurricane Sally and need to Vacuum & use my Polaris 280 to get all the leaves out.
But I figure just this one time can't really hurt the filter or pump. I figure it can clear out the lines maybe and clean them up.
Thanks in advance.

Sure.
Unless you are vacuuming to waste, you can still put it in the pool. The pressure side cleaner will suck it up.

Ok Thanks. I hear all sorts of stories adding Shock to a Skimmer will damage filter and Pump but I figure once in a Hurricane can't hurt. And I didn't want my Polaris to suck it up. That was my reasoning.
