Super-simple recipe for Intex type swimming pools

Great Thread,

Is this setup perfect for a 14' x 42" with intex sand pump and separate intex saltwater system. I am first time owner basically once i get my water balanced i should proceed to add the salt. Please correct me if i am wrong.

However, with salt you'll need to switch to accurately testing your own water sooner. You're OK for a couple of weeks, but you'll need the K2006 kit AND the AquaCheck salt strips. See http://pool9.net/tk/

Choice is between salt system and your "Super-simple pool chemistry recipe for Intex type pools" involving bleach, borax and that other thing:
Okay, even if i get into it and it's simply, putting in a cup here and a cup there depending on how things measures...sure, i could figure that out but when i'm away NO CHANCE my wife will want to do that stuff. Is it not simpler to just get a saltwater pump system and couple of bags of salt?
