Thanks Chris for your input

Texas Spash, you're the best. We will proceed slowwwwwly and just see how it goes. We are old timers and have had the pool for 30 years. Hubby is excited to be hauling the salt bags! Not...

Thanks so much. We definitely will go slow with this process, lastly is there one salt over the other that most use? I read here "Solar Salt" but then read that was not the salt to use. Now to look for a salt calculator which I assume is on here somewhere?
