We have a kind of an unusual situation. We are putting a 9 by 18 Intex (Aprox 5,000 gal) above ground pool in the addition to our greenhouse and are going to be using a swg.
The pool will receive some sunlight but very little direct sunlight as the area it is in is enclosed unlike the rest of the greenhouse. My husband is familiar with maintaining an indoor pool as he use to take care of one years ago(that pool also received little sunlight). But he has never used a SWG. I have spent the last 3 hours reading everything I can on the site about maintaining the proper levels for indoor pools. What my question is...how much salt in the initial startup would a person add to the pool for 5,000 gal pool indoors that receives little sunlight ? I think my husband can maintain the levels once we get it going. I just don't want to start off with a problem by putting in too much salt. I have read the booklet that came with the swg but it only states the amount to use for an outdoor pool. Thank you for any help anyone can be !
