Pump broken, New one incoming, Chorinate?

[Earl42]

Well, I filled the pool, removed the cover, pulled out my winter plumbing and went to fire up the pump. Wa wa waaaahhh, no worky. The replacement is coming on Wednesday. My water is getting pretty cloudy, should I chlorinate even though I can't really circulate? I guess I could stir it manually. Thoughts? Feelings? Comments?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, chlorinate and then brush well to really get it mixed.

Thanks Richard, I'll start shocking it tonight.

Thanks Richard, I'll start shocking it tonight.

No, just add what it needs to maintain normal levels. You risk bleaching your liner by going too high without constant circulation.

Got it. Glad I checked back. Thanks again.

You can use a straw broom to help mix the water or get in and walk around to make it move. If you can get your hands on a sub. pump you can also put that in to move the water.
