This is just another reason to switch to ozone disinfection. Chlorine is dangerous.

Her kitchen?
First, pool chemicals around here never see the inside of the house. Second, chemicals are never mixed. They are added to the water one-by-one.
Why was she mixing it in the first place...normally you just sprinkle the SHOCK granules all over the pool surface.
My pool has been open since May 21st and that was the only day I needed to use SHOCK. Since then I maintain it regularly with 3 fast tabs in filter basket every other day.
One oz. algeacide weekly and one oz clarifier weekly. Its crystal clear even after 10 kids are in there.
I run filter 8 hrs per day.
I know of some people who simply pour bleach in their pools and get similar results and save a bundle.
Why even bother with the pool store crap? Use plain old bleach for shock and chlorination. Easier, cheaper, works just as well and you can buy it at any store. Di-chlor and Tri-chlor are convenient if you have an autochlorinator, but they will raise your CYA through the roof.
