When to add stain and scale control to new water

[jameslee97206]

Hello, I'm sure this has been brought up before but my google searches are not showing any results and the owners manual doesn't say. Hopefully you can help a dummy out! I just bought my first hot tub, it's a 2008 Hot spring Sovereign II. I have it full of water and the electrician coming to hook it up tomorrow morning.

When do I add the scale and stain control? I'm thinking to add it while the water gets hot but before balancing TA and PH?  Any other tips for a first time hot tub owner would be great. Thanks in advance, James

My dealer said to add it when I started the tub.
