Hi, Im back. This forum has been so much help in every aspect to becoming a better first time pool owner.

I reside in Lynbrook NY I have:
14' x 42" summer escapes pool
Intex Saltwater Krystal
Intex 12" Sand Pump Filter
HTH 6-way test kit

I like to order all my chemicals, I like to have everything, before i start.
I will be following PoolDoc Super Simple Pool Chemistry, I just have a couple of questions.

1. Do you have to balance the pool before adding the salt?
2. When should i add the salt?
3. If i use the PoolBrand bagged dischlor, does this eliminate the bleach?
4. Any other steps or chemicals i should buy?

Thank you in advance, I am sorry for all the questions i just want to get this right the first time.
