New pool is filling right now. I have my tf-100 on hand. Can I start adding to get my water correct as it fills?

How long should I mix?
What's a safe way to add cya? Water is about 10-12" deep in the shallow end.

What are you using for chlorine? If it is liquid you can pour it right in front of the hose so the current mixes it. Pour slowly, say a pencil sized stream. Liquid CYA can be added the same way. Don't over do the CYA. It won't show up immediately on your test so don't add too much at first.
You don't want granular CYA or Chlorine to sit on your liner. You can premix in a bucket until it dissolves and pour slowly into the deep end. Brush if it isn't all dissolved. I have read where people put it in some sort of "sock" and hung it in the water away from the edges.
If I were you I would wait and see what the pro's say about the granular CYA. I'm trying to lower mine not raise it.
