Can you shock the pool and add clarifier?
It may kill the algae but the algae needs to be filtered or the pool will remain green and cloudy You need to dissolve the chlorine and pour around the pool then brush the pool in order to not damage your plaster. This will help get the chlorine throughout the pool.
Is it bad for shock to sit on the bottom of the pool?
Yes, it is bad to let the shock sit on the bottom of a painted pool. As it ionizes, it will eat away at the paint. Since the Calcium Hypochlorite has a low solubility, I recommend to my customers that they first dissolve it in a bucket of hot water, then pour it into the pool. That should solve your problem. I ageree with previous answer. If using 'calium hypochlorite', dissolve in bucket of water, as best you can, but you will have a residue. Throw the liquid into the pool and toss the residue away (calcium, not needed in your pool).
