So I know that long term it's not a great idea to put liquid chlorine in the pump basket, skimmer or tab feeder but short term, like a one time deal, is it really that bad?? Obviously skimmer I can't use because I'm locked out but pump basket or tab feeder? I won't be able to wait for a response so I'm going to open the filter up and put some in there for today as I've done that in the past per my manager. I'm just curious for in the future if I'm in this situation. The main reason being, like where I'm at now for instance, the filter lid is a real peice of work and I often have trouble with it sticking or leaking, it seems to require new o rings much more frequently than other pools for some reason and it's on the newer side, the pool is only maybe 5 years old if that, probably less. Anyways, I'm just hoping next time I'm here or in a similar situation, that there is someplace other than the filter itself that is safe to pour in the liquid chlorine if I'm locked out of the patio? Again, not for long term, just here and there as needed in this situation. I would normally put tabs I'm the feeder but my CA is way too high and I need to take a break from tabs on this pool for a bit. That being said, between the high CA and the fact that it's not quite spring and the water is pretty cold still plus it's not really raining much yet, I won't have to put a whole lot of chlorine in the pool anyways. It's a standard size pool, somewhere in the vicinity of 10k gallons so I'm only going to hit it with like 0.75 of a gallon and I wouldn't think it would hurt the pump or anything if I put it directly in the pump basket but I know chlorine is really slippery and I don't know if that would affect any of the inner workings of the pump, causing it to spin too quickly and burn out or damage it? Any info is much appreciated, knowledge is power and I like to have as much of it as possible! I love to learn so all comments are welcome! Thanks so much, this is my first post here, hopefully of many and I apologize if I put this post I'm the wrong place.
