Hello: I purchased a 24x12 Intex ultra salt water system pool. I levelled the ground using a 2 X 12 and a 3 foot level. seems pretty close. I figured Id get it closer when the walls and legs are up without water.
-I want to use the pink insulation and 2 x 12 pieces under the legs.
-I ordered the TF 100 test kit with the saltwater kit and the stirrer. Just ordered. Im east coast so, I assume a week.
-Should I get my tap water tested at a pool supply store and then use the pool calculator. Im assuming the directions will tell me how much salt to use. Then I'm reading to use the directions on here. Any links? I can't find them.

Thanks,
Rob

Also - no need to test your fill water. You will just need bleach and CYA to start. Use that for a few days until you get your TF100 and then you can add the salt and start your SWCG one day after adding salt.

Take care.
