I'm not sure but I will confirm. Should I be concerned about any issues with my plaster both aesthetically and structurally due to them plastering before my equipment was installed? I'm going to continue brushing and trying to keep the ph and Ca hardness within range but until my equipment is installed, that's about the best I can do.
Pool is currently filling......now what?!

I don't think there would be any issue with the plaster, per se. You would be brushing a lot anyway. The issue is, as was mentioned before, with the plaster dust building up and not getting filtered out. From a chem standpoint you just have to provide the circulation on your own to mix them around.
Ok that’s a little more reassuring at least! I was concerned it would increase the chance of having mottling, spots, and a terrible looking final plaster outcome and possible integrity issues

It could affect the appearance if the plaster dust hardens on your plaster surface before it gets filtered out. That is why I am so surprised they didn't make sure the filtration was installed before they plastered and filled it. But from a structural standpoint the plaster should be fine.
I just saw the new Tf Pro Salt Pro Kit. I will have a SWG. Is it worth me upgrading to the pro kit or will the basic Tf-100 give me everything I realistically need?

The TF Pro Salt provides everything the TF100 does, plus the salt test and a Smartstir. All in a convenient, well designed case.
Really your choice. Do you want everything in a single case, or, do you want the TF100, the salt test kit, and the Smartstir separately.

If you have a salt pool its very useful to have a definitive test for the salinity. The reading that is displayed on your SWG controller isn't always accurate. And when it starts to vary it is sometimes a sign the cell is having issues or is ready to be replaced. How will you know that without an independent test. Plus the Smart Stir is an absolute necessity in my opinion. It makes the testing easier and more consistent. Most people that started with the TF100 eventually added these other things (me included). The TF-Pro salt has them all bundled together from the get go.
I went ahead and upgraded to the TF Pro Salt. It’s on the way. I got up before work and brushed again. I’m assuming I should just be brushing with a nylon brush and not metal. I’m on my PB about getting the equipment installed ASAP! I feel like an idiot not knowing to put a hold on the plaster until the equipment was ready to roll. Is this normally unheard of for a pb to plaster a pool before having the equipment ready?
