Need some advice/thoughts. Our new 18x36 inground vinyl SWG pool finished filling Wednesday last week. Electrician was supposed to be here Friday to wire up the pump and SWG so we could get things rolling, but we're having a scheduling battle with them. I want to see if it would be a bad idea to go ahead and get some bleach into the pool water to help protect it some since we can't run the pump/SWG yet. I have a Dolphin Premier that I started running Saturday in the pool to pick up debris and some of the backfill dirt that splashed into the water when it was raining. I realize that there isn't circulation and filtering going on, but the Dolphin does at least move the water around a bit....which is what got me thinking. (TF100 is supposed to arrive this afternoon, so I can get solid measurements to based from). Currently pH is at 7.2, so I know I want to raise that some. But, the main goal is to provide some sort of protection while I battle schedules to get the electrician on site. Thoughts on adding bleach to help?
