Pool cleaner in new pool

[ciaka]

What's the guideline on using pool cleaners in New pools? I have been getting varying info.
PB said wait a month before using pool cleaner on new pebble.
Other forums say wait at least 2 weeks.
Yet others say wait til dust is gone.

My pebble has been in fir over 3 weeks, I haven't seen any dust since week 2. Thanks for advice.

Why no wheeled cleaner for first 30 days? Plaster is sufficiently hard once the pool is full of water. Pool cleaners can be installed and utilized after about two days if there is no plaster dust forming. The reason that tracks develop is usually from plaster dust being "packed down" by the pool cleaner wheels and then not removed by brushing. So it can look like an "indention" (and discolored) but it is not an indention. Brushing afterwards can help prevent the plaster dust from sticking on the plaster.

Awesome. That's what I wondered, plaster should not be sift enough to chip or gouge with a cleaner. After a few days. Thanks a lot.
