Does the pool need to be filled entirely first before adding salt/chemicals? I was under the impression they need the pump on to be able to circulate, but that obviously can’t happen until the water level reaches the water outlet. Am I over thinking this?

Ok I’ve found liquid chlorine (finally) as well as stabilizer. The pool is currently filling up. Can I put the salt in now why it’s filling and then once it’s full add the LC/stabilizer and turn the pump on for 24 hrs before turning on the swg? Or should the LC/stabilizer go in now while it’s...
