Automatic vacuum in my new plaster pool?

[Dawnamie]

Hi Everyone!
Just built and finished our 16x40 plaster pool 29 days ago. Got all my levels good. Gonna convert to salt in the next day or two. Can I start using my automatic vacuum? Some places say wait 2 weeks others say 30 days? It is a dolphin premier (yes spent a ton on it but figure I would save maintaining our pool myself). Also ph question my ph is stable at 7.5 but pool math says to keep adding soda ash til I get to 7.6, do I continue adding the 11 oz they are saying to do? TA at 80 Ph 7.5 CH 250 TC 5 CYA at 48. Any info would be so appreciated.

You are good to use your cleaner.

Don’t chase after perfect numbers. pH of 7.5 is fine. Don’t let the robot drive you. Your pH will rise naturally if it wants to.

Any pH in the 7s is equally good.
