New above ground pool start up

[Caffrin]

Hey there! Last year we followed TFP halfway through the summer and it worked out great. However, our CYA levels were higher by the time we started. This year we got a new pool due to a tear and we just filled it with new water today. Do I need to SLAM a freshly filled pool? Or just get the FC levels where they need to be? Our CYA is at zero right now but I just added 2lbs of stabilizer in a sock. FC is at .5 after being at 3 this morning (using liquid bleach). Do I keep adding chlorine bleach even though the stabilizer isn’t finished dissolving?

Any advice? I want this year to go better that our miserable year last year

You're off to a great start! Add chlorine to match the CYA level that will be in the pool when it's all dissolved. Then check pH and TA.

You've got this.
