Hi there,

We just purchased an 18' x 48' pop up pool, which holds about 5,600 gallons of water. It is filling up right now and my kids are dying to get in!!! My question is, what is the first thing I should do to it that would let my kids get in and enjoy it quickest. I have already purchased a start-up chemical kit for pop-up pools, but after reading some posts on this site, I'm not sure that is the best way to go. Should I go with the BBB method instead? Can I start with the chemicals I have and then switch over to the BBB? Do I add the stabilizer first or the chorine? And what is the best was to add these things? Just throw them in the water? I just have no idea?!

Your advice will be so appreciated!!! We are new to this pool stuff and have no idea what step to take next! Thanks so much!!!
