Newbie confused about start up plan.........

[Barons]

Thank you!! I don't think my pool has the over the wall skimmer......... So should I add the borax in front of the inlet that pulls the water into the pump? I will definitely update my signature......

I'm not sure if that will work well or not. Maybe pre-dissolve it in a bucket of water and pour it around the pool in various spots.

Or, you can just scatter it in the pool. It won't hurt anyone to be walking around on it.
