I posted in another thread, but my remodel is wrapping up and I have a new mini pebble surface that's about 3 days old.
My plan is to convert to SWCG ASAP.
PB *strongly* recommends against SWCG with all the typical reasons (it causes corrosion of the decking, it doesn't produce enough chlorine, etc.) but I have no doubt that it's not a coincidence that they're trying to steer me toward their very pricey UV sanitizer. I said "no."
I'm going SWCG whether he likes it or not.
HOWEVER, he didn't really want to answer my questions about how long I had to wait to add salt to the new pool. At one point he said "at LEAST 30 days" but then he kept circling back to "don't use salt."
Words of caution? Advice? I looked at past posts and it seems to be a consensus around 30 days on pebble, but I also saw one thread where a PB blamed a pebble surface failure on adding salt within 6 months.
So, oh mighty exalted gurus of all things pool... how long should I / must I wait to add salt (and borates) to my new pebble pool?
I have 10 bags of salt on standby which should get me to 3200ppm, and I'll be ordering a T-CELL-15 (probably with the PL-PLUS) from Inyo here in the next day or two.
Fun fact: my fresh fill tested at 200ppm salt
Thanks!
