How long do I need to keep the clorine level at 12 ppm and when can i let the kids swim. My 6 year old has already asked me 100 times since the pool was filled this AM. I already bought a bunch of bleach but will probably pick up some more. I originally though I could just bring it up to 3 ppm and swim. BUt sounds like I should shock as soon as the equipment starts up.

Also, the orientation for the pool will not be until a few days after the pool euipment starts up. Can I assume that I should wait until then before adding any chemicals to the water? I am asking this as I dont think they will have me start brushing until then. They specifically told me I did not need to be home for the equipment turn on but I did need to be there for the orientation.

Thanks for all the help.

Thanks
John
