    Using bleach alone is fine; you just have to manually add enough stabilizer to maintain good levels (probably, 40+ ppm).

    Adding it via the skimmer is good, SO long as you have ZERO other chemicals anywhere in your system. Adding chlorine that way, can help avoid certain filter problems, since you regularly super-super-chlorinate your filter.

    Thanks for the help. The only other chemicals I have in my system are already in my pool and my stabilizer level is through the roof so I should be good this year.
