Also question is, should I shock my pool when I first fill it up?The short answer to your question is, yes, you want to put a “start-up” dose of chlorinating agent into your pool to get it to the proper chlorine level (or slightly higher); from there, a “maintenance” dose of chlorine such as from the tablets will keep the proper level.Furthermore, how do I fill my pool for the first time? Place the garden hose in the deep end of the pool, making sure to tie a cloth over the end of the hose to diffuse the water pressure. Test and correct the pH level to 7.2 – 7.6. In the early evening, add 2 cups of HTH® Granular for every 10 000 liters of pool water. Filter continuously for 24 hours. Secondly, how do you treat a freshly filled pool? Startup Chemicals to Open Your Pool Optional Anti-scaling Product. If you’re filling your pool with fresh water, this is a good time to add an anti-stain or anti-scaling product. Adjust the pH. Adjust Total Alkalinity. Sanitize the Water. Adjust Hardness. Add Algaecide. What order do I add chemicals to my pool?I would do chlorine first, pH second, then any order after that (because everything else changes so slowly that frequent dosing won’t be necessary). Wait 30-60 min between each chemical addition.
