How does a chlorine feeder work?
Also known as an automatic chlorine feeder, an automatic chlorinator automatically dispenses chlorine into your pool. So instead of manually adding chlorine to your pool water or adding chlorine tablets to your floating dispenser or pool skimmer, you add chlorine tablets directly to your chlorinator.
What should my chlorine feeder be set at?
Chlorine Feeders: For each 5000 gallons of pool water, add one 3″ chlorine tablet, more or less. Choose a mid-point setting on the 1-10 dial. The higher the setting, the greater the dissolution rate. A setting of 5 may be too high, and it depends on the number of tablets in the feeder.

Do you leave chlorine floater in pool while shocking?
Chlorine tabs (placed in a chlorinator, floater, or skimmer basket) maintain a chlorine residual in the water. You do need to use both tabs and shock. Without tabs, the chlorine shock will dissipate quickly out of the water; without shock, the chlorine level will not get high enough to fully sanitize the water.

Short answer: yes. Longer answer: it depends on the formulation.
