Does anyone have experience with adding epsom salt to a saltwater pool with quartz plaster? I am curious to it's effects and recommended quantities. Thanks

TFP recommended quantity is zero.
Epsom salt is Magnesium Sulfate. You don't want to add sulfates to your plaster SWG pool.

I would like to make it clear that this would not be as a substitute for the salt content needed to keep the pool up.

Sulfates are detrimental to the SWG plates, they cause corrosion. They are detrimental to the plates' coating. Formation of Calcium Sulfate scale is another potential issue.
Also not good for plaster.

put only what pool needs in the water
and a glass of beer by the pool will provide a better therapeutic effect (but be careful with the glass)

Have you given TFP a try yet ? The water will feel great on its own. It's nothing like any of us remembered from friends/public pools.
I have always been salt but was using liquid chlorine for a bit before the new pool went salt, and the LC pool felt just as nice.
