I am new to having a pool this year, so I am still learning. We are having a new liner installed in our 10,000 gallon AG pool next week. I spoke with the water hauler that will deliver the fill water, and he said he is using local city water and the PH and TA seems to be pretty good in the water right now. Due to the length of our driveway he can't use a tanker truck to deliver the water and has to use a flatbed with a max delivery of 7000 gallons. He said with the 7000 that should take it to below the skimmer and then we can just winterize the pool. He didn't want to charge me more to bring 10,000 between 2 trips, just for me to drain the water below the skimmer and return for winterizing.
My question is what do I need to do to get the water levels correct for winterizing. In reading other posts on the forum, I am under the impression I will need to make sure the PH & TA are at good levels, add stabilizer, and chlorine. But I am not sure how to go about doing that if my water is not a skimmer level to mix the chemicals in. Do I need to just have the pool filled completely or is there a way to avoid paying extra money to fill the poll completely, just to drain it to skimmer level few weeks. Any advice and help is greatly appreciated.
