Don"t totally freak out - we went 3-4 days with water and no pump (the electricians ran out of conduit and the plumber plumbed something backwards). I added about 1 gallon of bleach to my 14,000 pool every evening (starting the second day) AFTER THE sun went down and bought my own brush - brushed the pool to mix up the chlorine.

Also if the pool builder asks - tell him you used liquid chlorine instead of bleach - it makes them feel better

You can wait a few days - we had no problems and it was 95 degrees or higher - just get some bleach in at night.

Also - the pool builder had us wait 14 days before they would salt the pool - something to do with the finish. Once the pump was on we used tri-chlor pucks in a floater (to help counter act the rising PH and add some CYA) and then added bleach in the evening until the SWCG was online.
