For new plaster, it is generally believed you should wait 30 days prior to adding the salt. The running of the SWCG can then begin.

When Should Salt be Added? In our industry, there seems to be some consensus to wait 30 days before adding salt to new plaster pools, yet some say it is okay to add salt within a couple of days of filling the pool. Who is right? This thread describes why it appears that the recommendation to wait 30 days before adding any salt is appropriate for most plaster pools, including quartz and pebble pools.

Once you have added a SWG and go to add salt- please make sure the device is entirely turned off the day you add salt. Then sweep it all around the pool to help it dissolve and you can turn on the SWG the following day.
