Just saying hi, was going through all the available info and thought I would register for the site in case I had some questions.

Just getting back into the Intex above ground pools again after a couple years off. The wife decided to buy our kids, 8 & 10 year olds, a 15' x 48" round Intex pool. Just used the starter chemical set to shock the water and get it going but looking for info on cheaper methods of maintaining the pool through the summer.

Also got a salt water system from a buddy that no longer uses it but it is missing two pieces that I have to see if they can be ordered.

I guess my first question is:

Can a pool be converted to salt water once it has been chlorinated or does it have to be drained and started all over again?

Thanks.
