Hi all, so sorry if this seems like the most basic of questions, but my head is kind of spinning trying to read through this forum..
I'm going to buy a 12'x30" Intex seasonal pool and I don't want to kick myself in a month when I figure more things out through trial and error.
1. I plan on using salt water and think that means I'll need two pumps, correct? I should have a sand filter, correct?
2. I'm under the impression the filter pump they send won't be good enough. If anyone can share specifics of what I should get, that would be amazing. I think I've gathered 1500gph would be good and to avoid copper at all costs..
3. I will get a TFProSalt from tfTestKits, but I'm nervous this will be more difficult than I thought (getting the water right). It seems quite complicated after reading through the "initial read" help type articles.
4. The pool is pretty small, (I'm in NY) should I get the solar mats to help heat the water? I just don't want to keep going back and ordering more, paying more shipping etc. Or do we think the size will be easy enough to keep mid 70s in good weather?
Like I said, my head is swimming, feel free to drop some more info, tips and tricks if you want. I'll soak it up!
