Thanks for the questions. I have edited the SS plan somewhat. "SS Plan for Intex-type pools"

+ The 4x doses are ONLY while you are filling.
+ You should check the pH regularly, especially during the first week of use.
+ You are correct that you should always add borax when you add dichlor UNLESS your pH is too high.
+ You do NOT have to add borax when you add bleach.
+ Your kids can begin swimming as soon as your pool is 3/4 or more full; early on, when the chlorine is high, have them wear old swimsuits. Skin is VERY chlorine resistant, but some swimsuits are not.
