I added 9 bags of salt just now. Is that enough to start with a 17k pool? also, when should I run the super chlorinator

9 bags is a great start. Let that mix for a full day and then test to see where you ended up.
Superchlorinate is for FC top offs before/after parties and such. It's literally a party trick that won't be used often and seems way cooler than it is.

That powdered chlorine has copper in it. Use at your own risk.

That sounds like a no. I think my pool will survive overnight with no chlorine, Another question what is the best schedule I should run for SWG and should I run the pump at the same time? I have the SWG running only right now at 100%

You have to run the pump and SWG at the same time. Your SWG has a flow switch that won't allow it to run without flow.
You should add supplemental chlorine from another source, preferably liquid, ASAP. Don't put copper in your pool.

Yes, run it on boost, or super-chlorinate, or 100%, or whatever it's called on your unit.

As long as that is the only powdered chlorine of that type you have added, no big deal, use it up. Just wanted you to understand that products with copper in them are not a good thing. It is also dichlor, so will add CYA. Yours is low for a SWCG so no issue there.
