Most of us do not have the luxury of bypassing our SWG cell when shocking the pool with chlorine, especially at high levels.
I believe most manufacturers recommend that one does not operate the SWG cell with high levels of chlorine as it can damage the cell, or shorten its life. If then when you replace your cell you keep the old one it can be used when doing any kind of shock treatment with liquid chlorine, saving your new or current cell.
If someone already wrote on this please excuse me, but I thought it might be useful.
