fresh fill, when to add bleach?

[dcoffey48]

I just finished draining and cleaning my 33,000 gal inground pool. I started filling tonight. The bucket test shows a flow rate of 10 gal/minute. The pool should be filled in 55 hours. Sometime early Friday morning. I ordered a TF100 test kit that should be here on Saturday. My question:

Should I add any chlorine before Saturday? I would think the water should be fine until then.

This was a Biguanide conversion done the easy way. I'm replacing the sand in the filter as well.

If it's as hot there as it is down here...........adding some along and manually stirring it wouldn't hurt.. I'd add some about halfway if it was me anyhow.

There is no need to add chlorine until the pool is full and you have the pump running.

Even when you replace the water, it is best to follow the baqua conversion steps anyway. There is often baqua left in the plumbing.
