We purchased a Intex 20 by 52 pool that came with the 1600 GPH sand filter/pump system. I added the intex Krystal clear salt water system. I am completely new to the salt water sytem and have a few questions.
1. Should I add anything other than the salt when first starting the pool. I have seen some stuff like salt water magic and am wondering if I should use that.
2. What test kit\strips do I need?
3.What online pool supply company is the best to go with? Doheny's seems to be a good choice especially since I need stuff ASAP. That is if it will ever stop raining so I can finish getting the pool up.
Any other hints would be greatly appreciated too. I am new to salt water pools. We had a chlorine pool a few years ago until the side wall blew out. Decided to get another pool this year. A few friends have the intex salt water pool systems and they love them. Hope I made a good choice. Thank you for any and all input/suggestions.
