New liner, new water..now what?

[Northrider]

We ended up installing our own liner due to lack of available help. Many hours of you tube and talking to others that have tackled this on their own.
Super pleased with the results, no wrinkles!
Now I'm in the middle of refilling andd wondering where to start with "new" water. So far I added 2 gallons of shock (12%) to aprox 9000 gallons, full pool = 18'000. Any thing I should be doing? Adding? I'll start testing as soon as I'm able to turn on the pump.

Get CYA in there to buffer the 27 FC, and do it yesterday. Luckily it will burn off quick with none, so there will be less risk of bleaching your brand new liner.

Everything else can wait until you're full and mixing.

I should have mentioned that the pool shock is from last summer and stored all winter. Doubting that it's full strength . One bottle was a opened and about half full. I added 1 gallon as we added 5500 gallons this AM. About 2 inches below the skimmer intake and now adding with the hose. so, hoping to keep things under control until I can fire up the pump/filter later today. Water temp is at 61 at noon. Might be awhile before we jump in.

Phew. You had me worried there for a minute.

Still though. CYA in there. Yesterday.

Checked my FC last night as the pool neared the top...No chlorine detected...weak shock!
