No power yet on new fill (sw to be), add anything?

[Maureen03]

New pool set up, just finished a slow 3 day fill. I know very little about salt water pools. All previous experience has been with chlorine. Everything I read, says not to add anything until you have your pump on, but I’m concerned I will get life growing in my pool if I don’t put something in. Waiting for the electrician.

Your signature says you have a resin pool. You can add any chemicals immediately.

Add 5ppm of liquid chlorine daily and stir in with your pool brush until you get your equipment running to prevent algae from taking hold.
