Filled and setup pool, but no test kit until weds =( Add Chlorine now?

[ninjajim4]

Hi all,

Was hyperfocused on getting this pool level and situated and didn't give any thought to chemicals until now. I ordered the Taylor K-2005 test kit, after doing some research I also ordered a salt water generator, but neither will come until Wednesday. Also have CYA coming tomorrow. Is it ok to hold off until I have some known parameters or is there some "safe" dose of chlorine to put in an untreated pool to hold over until then? Thank you!

Add 3 ppm FC worth of liquid chlorine each day.
Add 30 ppm CYA worth of dry stabilizer using the sock method.

When you get your kit (you need to change that to a K2006C or buy the K1515C separately) run a full set of tests.

Thank you very much for the info, both for the chlorine/CYA stopgap and for the kit! I've amended the order now and next stop is the PoolMath app =)
