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

    Good morning......I started filling my pool yesterday afternoon.

    I did not fill it during the night; but plan to resume when I get off work this evening. I have added the chorine as stated in the plan. I'm thinking I will be finished filling this evening. My questions are:

    1. Since I have the dichlor should I add it while I go to work today (it will be rainy and cloudy all day)even though the pool is not full?

    2. Does the start up plan end once the pool is full? The 7-days confused me...........

    3. Do I add dichlor tonight once the pool is full or the four doses of bleach?

    4. Do I just empty the dichlor bag in the pool or mix it in a bucket first?

    5. How should I add the borax?

    6. When should I turn the pump on? There are already "things" in the pool...........Im thinking I should turn it on once it is full?

    7. Should the pump be on when adding chemicals?

    I'm sorry I have so many questions............I have never owned a pool...
