My question is when you completely refill your pool should you take it to shock level? And if so, how long should I keep it at shock level? Thanks in advance for everyones time and input.
I would shock it, and hold your shock level until it doesn't drop more than 1-2 ppm overnight. Then let it drift down, adding chlorine daily until you have stabilizer in the water.
