I read about break in period following a replaster job. I've read that you shouldn't swim during the break in period but they don't say the length of the break in period in days.
Of further research, I've seen posts all over the map from one extreme (I jumped in right after the pool was filled) to the other (don't swim until 28 days because that is how long it takes plaster to cure.
My situation: I had my pool replastered 2 weeks ago and we are having a party at our house this Sunday (it will be 2 1/2 weeks from the replaster date at that point)
I have followed each and every instruction on restart. The pool was perfectly balanced at Day 7 and remains in balance. I have brushed 2 or 3 times a day every day. I ran the filter 24hours a week for the first week, cleaning the cartridge filters 3 times to get the dust out.
So, the pool will be plaster dust free and perfectly balanced for 1 1/2 weeks at the time of the party on Sunday. Question: Do I let the kids swim?
