Installing a new Intex AGP with saltwater chlorination.
We are in the process of setting up a 15' x 48" Intex AGP-metal frame (4400 gal roughly) and will be adding the saltwater intex chlorinator system to it also. After intial leveling and setup, I plan on using the BBB method for the intial start up and then use the saltwater system from there forward. Just trying to plan ahead and get the steps right from the start:
1) fill pool as well as using bleach, borax, and baking soda doses at prescribed times til pool is full.
2) then add pool salt, allow to dissolve (24 hrs?)
3) turn on salt water chlorinator and filter pump
4) monitor water/test and make adjustments based on readings (ph,ect.)
Does this seem the right order as far as initial filling, adding start up chemicals, followed by adding salt, dissolve period, the maintain from there?
After pool is completely filled, I understand to let salt dissolve until turning on saltwater chlorinator system, but can I run the filter pump after adding salt and before the salt is completely dissolved? Will is clog up filters and/or pump?
Any additional comments greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Jeff
