Hi,
I am getting my pool replastered with standard white plaster. I have read posts about startup on this forum as well as the following link.

To the best of my understanding here is what I need to do
* Run the pump 100% in the first week.
* Brush pool twice a day for first week and once a day after that. This procedure needs to be followed 3 days after I stop seeing plaster dust
* Also vacuum the pool 48 hours after replastering
* After 72 hours, add CYA and then Chlorine slowly to balance the chemistry.
* Keep cleaning the filter if pressure exceeds 20-25%
* No SWG for 30 days. No pool cleaner/robotics for 2 weeks
But I still have the following questions:
* Will a vacuum like this work (https://www.lowes.com/pd/Aqua-EZ-11-in-Swivel-Handle-Pool-Vacuum-Head/1000887)
* How much CYA and Chlorine do I need to add for a 25000 gallon pool. And what schedule should I follow to do this. I plan to use this CYA (https://www.lowes.com/pd/Clorox-Pool-Spa-Clorox-Pool-Spa-Chlorine-Stabilizer/1001873978) and this Chlorine (https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kem-Tek-1-Gallon-Liquid-Pool-Chlorine/4570020)
* When can I start using the pool. If I adjust CYA and Chlorine 3 days after replaster, can I use the pool after 3 days or should I wait longer.
