Hello,
I recently purchased a Intex SWG for our 20ft round AGP (Summer Waves). I believe I know what I need to do to get started but I wanted to verify:
I am doing this after draining and re-filling my pool FYI, no chemicals have been put in as of yet.
1) According to the manual I need 250 lbs of salt for startup for a 10,000 gallon pool. My pool is 9,425 gallons so 6 40lb bags of pool salt should work? Should I err on the side of caution and just get 7 and put more in or is that not good?
2) After putting in the salt, I need to start my pump and let it run for 24 hours. I can use a brush to help the salt dissolve in the pool.
3) After 24 hours I need to start the SWG by first setting the timer for the desired time I want it to run (i.e. 4 hours) and then initiate boost mode on the SWG. I need to make sure my pump starts/stops 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after the SWG starts.
4) I need to add about 2.5lbs of Pool stabilizer.
I think that's it. One thing I'm not clear about and the instructions aren't really clear, is how long do I run the boost mode?
Thanks!
