Assuming my gaskets get here today, I am also planning on installing the skimmer and return this evening after work. The water has been in the pool since yesterday morning, filled to right at the bottom of the return cut-in.

I have added a bit of bleach the last couple of nights and agitated the water as best I could with the leaf net. I added maybe two cups each night.

Is it safe to get in this water to install the skimmer and return? Is there anything I should be prepared for?
