So my installer is coming tomorrow and I asked a few questions and one of the things that came up was that once the pool is up, I should fill it with 1 foot of water and leave it with just that foot of water for 24-48 hours.

I guess part of it is to give a little time to inspect the pool and liner, and that way if there is something wrong I don't have to drain the whole pool and buy the trucked in water again.

Just wondering if this is typical with installs. Should I put some liquid chlorine into that foot of water to prevent algae growth until the time I get the rest of the water trucked in?
