Actually, if you're going with the salt system, you'll need to
1. Order a K2006 & the AquaCheck salt strips; be sure to watch the videos BEFORE you test: http://pool9.net/tk/
The reason for this is that the SSR pretty much ignores everything except pH and chlorine, and lets the CYA float upward. You can't do that with an SWCG in play, since if your TA (alkalinity) and/or CH (calcium) are too high you can end up fouling the plates in the SWCG.
2. Run the plain SSR for 2 weeks OR until the CYA level has reached 30 ppm (the target level for the Intex SWCG units).
3. Before you turn your SWCG on, report your pH, TA, and CH levels, so we can make sure you don't have a problem.
4. Using the AquaCheck strips to bring the salt level to 3,000 ppm (Intex target level). REMEMBER that the AquaCheck strips can NOT be read directly; you must use the conversion table on the bottle.
