We did the acid startup technique but I am concerned that not running my equipment for at least 3 days is going to cause an algae bloom. The 3 day comment was from the plaster company. We are mid way through the second day with the pump being off and I really want to start circulating this water! I read all of the pool school info regarding this subject but it did not mention not running the pump. What do you guys think? I have been brushing twice a day and honestly I have very little plaster dust. Let me know some of your opinions as this is the first time we have ever had to replaster the pool. Thanks!
Fresh plaster but I have a question

Our pool was plastered,acid washed, and filled on 5/5. Sat with water for 2.5 days before PB came out to start equipment. I was a little nervous as well with water just sitting there. Ive been brushing twice a day and did not see any dust until about day 5 - so I think youll be fine. Currently, pool is crystal clear.
How long did he wait to neutralize the acid? I really need to get my PH back up.

If the initial startup is done by PB then I would do nothing until cleared to do so. Make sure you follow instructions from the builder because you do not want to do anything to void a warranty.
In my case, I declined the PB's $750 startup fee and conducted by own startup referencing the NPC Startup Card. My PB agreed to run the warranty.
