Most chemicals for Swimming Pools are applied directly to the water, not through the skimmer. The only exception to this rule is stabilizer (cya) which is poured directly through the skimmer and is a slow dissolving product. Pouring granular chlorine directly into the skimmer can cause an explosion within the Plumbing and equipment due to the gas it creates as it dissolves.

How do you prevent an inground pool from being pushed up from water pressure under the pool if the deep end is below the water table of a nearby pond?
Keep it full of water. Otherwise, put gravel below and around the pool before it is built, then install a shaft and put in a sump pump. make sure the sump pump is on whenever the pool is to be empty.
How much shock do you put in a 30000 gal pool?
1/2 a bag OS shock
6000 gallon AG pool with a cartridge filter and salt water chlorinator The water turned green and added a bag of shock the water is now milkycloudy How can the water color be fixed?
Although one bag of shock does treat usually 10,00 gallons, that is assuming a clear pool to start with. Since you had an algae infestation, more shock will be required. A simple rule of thumb is when treating problem water to double or even triple shock the pool. Simply put, there wasn't enough shock there to finish the job. Test your water for chorine. Most shocks are chlorine based. If your chlorine is low or zero, it will confirm the need for more shock.
Do you have to run a pool pump if not using pool for a few days?
You should run your pump about 12 hours each day to keep water clean. You can put your pump on a timer to save money. Don't do that until your water clean and clear. If you are still working to get your water just right you need to keep your pump going full time.

Can an inground pool be saved when the vinyl liner was removed and there is a groundwater in the deepest point in the pool?
yes it can be saved. You will have to put points in the ground and rent a diaphragm pump or buy one and dewater the pool. Most instances the diaphragm pump has to run while the liner is being put in because if you turn it off and you have a high water table in ur area, any water it sucked out of ur pool will begin to fill up again.
How do you close a pool for the winter?
To my knowlege, it is really a good idea to always have proper chemical levels in a pool year round. So I can't say it would be good to "close" the pool. You will be in big trouble come swim season if you let it get away from you. Take a sample of your water to your pool dealer. It is important to have the pool chemically balanced so the chlorine can work properly and the liner doesn't get stained by an imbalance. Shock the pool and then thoroughly vacuum your pool. Based on the water sample, you'll likely have to add some chemicals and let the pump run for a few hours. Once this is done, you'll added the dealer recommended amount of algaecide and winter shock. Once added, I put the pillow in place and put the winter cover on. I leave the pump running during this time to help mix up the water, algaecide and shock. I fasten down the cover with clips from the pool dealer as well as some some spring clamps, leaving the area by the skimmer and return for last. Now I drain the pool to the recommended level using the pump for as long as possible. I use a siphon if needed after that. At this point, I turn off the pump and install the Aqua Door over the skimmer, and remove the 'eyeball' on the return. I then remove the hoses from these and make sure there are no leaks. I then thoroughly drain the pump, hoses, and filter. Some people keep the sand in their filter, but I replace my every year, so I empty the sand out and wash out the filter tank. I make sure the pump and filter are dry inside and cover them with plastic and put them in my garage, along with the hoses.
