At 24' round by 48" deep (I'm assuming the pool height is 54" but the actual water depth will only be 48"), to go from 0 to 3600ppm (avg optimal salt value of most SWGs), you would need 407lbs of pool salt. If you assume the full 4-1/2 ft depth, then the amount of salt needed is 458lbs. You've got about 750lbs there which is a lot more than you need.
Are you sure those are 50lbs bags? Most pool salt is sold in 40lbs bags.
Is your fill water well water or municipal water? Muni water often has a small chloride level to begin with (can be anywhere from 50-200ppm depending on the provider).
