liner change - new water

[CarlD]

Best plan?
1) Test your fill water before you put it in the pool so you know what to expect.
2) I like to get some chlorine in as it's filling.
3) pH and Chlorine come first unless something s funny about the fill water.

You can drizzle bleach in as you are filling. Just reach as far from the side of the pool as you can, being careful not to splash your liner or yourself. Take a clean broom or oar or something to stir the water up to mix in the bleach.

Good to see you back on the forum this year!

OK, will add some bleach as we begin filling. I'll wait on the other 'til the water level reaches the skimmer and then add based on testing. Hope this will keep algae out! I haven't had algae for 5-6 years and my goal is to start up with the new water/liner algae-free.

thanks Carl and WM.

You're welcome! Remember, until you get some CYA in there, the chorine is going to disappear fast! You'll have to add bleach several times a day for the first week of so. A pain in the patootie ---yes! But, better than an algae bloom!

Keep us posted!
