Look at this Intex start-up recipe: http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthread.php/17055

You can follow that recipe, initially. You'll need to switch to standard pool operation by fall, and may do so immediately. But if you're nervous, that recipe will work fine for you during the first couple of months after the pool is filled. Hopefully, using that streamlined method will keep the 'new pool learning curve' from overwhelming you!

Good luck!
