Yes; mix the shock with water and pour it into the pool directly in several locations and run the filter.

Why would the pool water be brown after shocking your pool?
Best course prior to adding chlorine or a shock agent is to filter the pool water overnight then add your chemicals AFTER each refill or top off. It would give you an added boost if after each top off of the pool water - you add a sequestering agent specifically addressed to iron in the fill water. Be sure to follow all the instruction on the product you are adding to the pool.

They mean the top of the water
How can one clean algae from a swimming pool?
Algae can be skimmed from the top of the water using a pool skimmer. It can be removed from the sides of the pool using a brush. To prevent algae from growing in the future, a chemical "shock" will be necessary.
How can you make your pool safe for swimming if there was a dead decomposing armadillo in it when it was uncovered?

What should you add to a salt water pool besides salt to keep the pool at top condition?
I assume that you understand that 'salt' alone will do nothing for your pool and that you require the Saline System equipment. Salt is added initially andthereafter only top up salt is required (maybe a couple of 50 pound bags per year, on average). A saline pool requires everything that any other pool requires, with ONE EXCEPTION. The saline system will produce the sanitizer, so you do not need to add any sanitizing/oxidizing chemicals such as 'pool chlorine', algaecide or 'shock' chemicals. Everything else is the same and must be maintained as per normal pool care recommendations (pH, alkalinity, conditioner, calcium hardness etc). A salt water pool converts the salt in the pool electronically to produce chlorine gas which is then dissolved into the water, so aside from making sure the salt content in the pool is OK the treatment is about the same. Except you don't have to put chlorine in
How should you treat your pool water before going away for extended periods?
The BEST way to ensure the water in your pool stays healthy and algae-free while you are away for extended periods, is to install a Saline System. That will keep your pool water chlorinated and crystal clear the whole time, automatically, regardless of how long you are away. An alternative is to get a Pool Service to check on the pool at least weekly while you are away. If you want to do it yourself, make sure the pH is correct, then shock the pool (with regular chlorine, or shock). This will work only for as long as the chlorine lasts in the water. Whatever you do, you must ensure that the water level is topped up periodically. If you do not have an automatic-fill device on the pool, you will have to arrange for someone to stop by and top up the water level from time to time.
