Hello, Our liner is approx 40 years old (!) and we are having it replaced (though holding up still remarkably well!) this week. We are in the Northeast so it's also pool closing time.
Since we are getting fresh water from the city fire hydrant (flushed first), once I add stabilizer and balance it, do you think I still need to shock it? I'm worried about high chlorine levels on a brand new liner. What do you recommend I aim for on the chlorine level before I close it up? Also is there any reason to not close it up very soon after getting it installed? Was planning to cover it within a week or less.
And any other advice around this project would be appreciated. THANK YOU!
