I know robots shouldn't be used the first 30 days after plaster is finished, but I was wondering if I HAVE to have my robot at that point or can I tough it out with the TFP method, daily brushing and vacuuming for a few weeks if I don't have the budget immediately for the robot?

If I understand your question correctly, you don't ever NEED a robot, or any automated cleaner for that matter. Good old fashion vacuuming works just less convenient. And personal opinion on brushing (especially gunite/plaster pools), there's no machine that takes the place of brushing by hand.
you don't ever need to buy a robot if you're prepared to clean manually. It's a chore, but if you're comfortable doing it then keep doing it.
Thank you both for answering! I plan to buy a robot but just wondered if some type of mechanical cleaner was a necessity immediately. We 86'd the Polaris w/the booster pump in favor of getting a robot. I'm just trying to see if I can stretch not having it for more than the 30day break in period. Now I know I can! Thank you again!
If you use Amazon, Prime day is coming up who knows might find a deal you can't pass up. I have also had good luck wiht warehouse deals but it can be a bit like going to a garage sale never know whats there till you look.
