I am in the process of filling my AGP for the first time after just getting it set up on Friday. Right now the water level is about half way, and is slowly filling. It is raining now and also still filing with the garden hose. I've been turning the water on and off because I don't feel comfortable leaving the water on while I'm gone.
So my question is, since it will be either later tonight or tomorrow before the water level is up to the intake to run the pump, and then I have to add the salt and wait 24 hours before turning on the SWG, should I go ahead and add some liquid chlorine in until then? I'm not sure how long it takes for algae to start but I would sure hate to start off my new pool under those conditions. But I also don't want to be adding chemicals in just because. Do you think it will be OK until Tuesday to start having chlorine in via the SWG since it is new, fresh water?
