New member w/ small Intex pool, looking at salt systems

Wife bought an AG INTEX pool, 10' x 30" for the kids. Aside from your standard blow-up pools for toddlers, this is our first "real pool". So once we get our location leveled the pool will go up, hopefully soon since northern Oregon isn't well know for long, hot summers So I guess you could say that when it comes to a real pool we're "getting our feet wet" LOL!

I know nothing about pool maintenance so am looking for guidance. I'm already sold on salt water systems, just gotta figure out if I can get away with it on our itty-bitty pond.

You might want to look at the recipe, here:

I'm not sure that SWCG (Salt Water Chlorine Generator system) won't actually make a pool that small much easier -- and just be clear, a SWCG is just another method of *delivering* chlorine to a pool.

Thanks PD, that link looks very informative for a pool newb. I understand the physics behind the SWCG. Maybe we'll go that route once we graduate to a larger pool.

I've got a lot of reading/research to do now...sometimes a type A personality is a PITA

Oh, where are the emoticons/smilies? Or are those granted after more posts?

Smilies are also accessible by 'clicking' on the advanced edit menu . . . but I can't remember if you can see that menu, at your privilege level.

It is a little known fact that Ben posed for some of those 'photos' to use on his forum. For instance, this picture was taken after he drank too much pool water from a green pool. And, this one was taken of him when he posted some pictures of big ugly spiders on the forum for me to see!
