Adding salt for initial setup

[jandersen13]

Any tips for adding salt to my pool for initial setup? I have 3 returns and 2 skimmers and no main drain. Deep end is 6 feet.
Should I disperse evenly around the pool (it’s the granular kind and not pellets). And will I need to brush? And should I vacuum before adding? It’s pretty clean now with some dirt in the corners.

Turn off your SWG. Add 2/3 of your calculated amount you need. Dump the salt into the pool. 70% will dissolve before it hits the floor. Brush the rest around until it dissolves. Wait 24 hours with your pump running for the salt to mix. Test the salt level.

What salt test do you have?

What SWG do you have?

Great thanks! I have the Taylor 1766 test kit and the Circupool RJ 60+ just arrived today. So was planning to add salt tonight and let it disperse for 24 hours and then install the RJ60 tomorrow evening.
