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).

What is the best type of shock for a vinyl pool so that it is least harmful on the vinyl yet effective?
I utilize liquid shock and poor it near the return...this way is disburses and spreads out into the pool. The power shock can sometimes sink to the bottom and sit there for a while...not the best for the liner.

It is best if you do so that the water can circulate and so that the granular chlorine does not sit on a liner pool cause it will discolor the liner. With a gunite pool it can cause bleaching spots. It is not necessary though.

Would it be better if the chlorine dispenser sat at the bottom of the pool?
It probably would make it worse. Chlorine is heavier than water, so when the dispenser releases chlorine, it would sit at the bottom, rather than drift down.
Do you run the pump after putting flocculent in?
When you put floculant in the pool you do not run the pump. you let the pool sit still for about two days. This will allow it to settle. After that time you will notice that there Is a cloudy area at the bottom of the pool. This is the floculant and all the contaminants that it has dragged down to the bottom as it settled. This will need to be vacuumed to waste DO NOT PUT THIS STUFF THROUGH THE FILTER,(VACUUM IT TO WASTE.) It's ok to pump it but not to run it through the filter.
How are salt water pools effected after a heavy rain?
Heavy rain can cause pools to overflow, the result of this is that some of the salt diluted in the water will be lost. However it is not as bad a sit sounds because the majority of the salt tends to work its way to the bottom of the pool when it is not in use so the loss of salt is strictly limited.
