Filling empty pool - chemical add questions

[steve_h]

The vinyl liner is getting replaced. So, I am starting from an empty hole. Although, I am an experienced pool owner.
I have to fill pool from empty with my deep well ( well water is about 400+ PPM TA, 8.4+ pH, and zero Chlorine). My plan is to get the pool going soon after water is in the skimmers.
The pool is 27000 gal with an Aquarite SWG with a 1 year old cell located in Southeast Virginia. The test kit is a TF-100 with Salt testing and speed stir.
I was going to add 300-350lb of salt, start the pump and add 12-14 lb of CYA through the skimmer.
I usually get a 300PPM of NaCl increase with each bag of salt. This would be about 3000PPM.
Upon opening, it usually takes 12 -14 lb of dry stabilizer to reach the 60-70 PPM range.
I will probably add less than the amounts above on the initial dose and monitor from there.

My reasoning is: this gets sanitizer and stabilizer going in the pool as soon as possible to keep it from turning green. The TA, pH and CH can and will be adjusted later.
This is backwards from the typical opening sequence I follow: SLAM, Get TA closer, adjust the CH (maybe vinly), then salt and CYA.

Does seem like a reasonable approach? Am i going off the proverbial "deep end"?
Should I add muriatic acid in the initial dose? I lose count of the gallons it takes to reach <100 PPM TA.
Suggestions? Comments?

Thanks

Take a peek at the article below. It has some good steps along the way as you fill.

Thanks for pointing out the article.
I must not have seen that when I searched the site.

The article mostly validates my thought process. Get the stabilizer and chlorine correct, then TA/pH.

Fingers crossed for the liner install.

My only other concern is the well water and potentially iron. If you know you have iron in there (very common), do as much pre-filtering as you can and have some polyfill available later should the water begin to change or you see staining. Good luck!

Thanks.
Been using this well water for 20 years. It has some Iron but not too bad.
I am glad I am not using a shallow well for fill.
I will research the Poly-fil. Are there any "how-to's" on Poly-fil on TFPs?
