solar panel heater and polaris 380 - when to turn on after new plaster

[norcalpool1]

After the new plaster, how long should I wait before heating the water with the solar panels? I have the easytouch system, but the solar settings is OFF due to startup. It has been about 3 weeks into startup. The ambient temperature has been ranging from 70 to 80 degrees with clear skies.

When is a good time to drop the polaris 380 into the pool and turn on the booster pump schedule?

I would not use the cleaner for a minimum of 4 weeks from the replaster date if you can go longer I would, why rush unless there is a need. 3 to 4 weeks is probably fine for the solar but before you fire it up I would clean the filter first. There is likely a fair amount of plaster dust in there that will reduce the flow and make the solar less efficient.

Thanks. The (cartridge) filter got cleaned a week ago. The pressure has been constant (6 bars, at 2200rpm) since then. Plaster dust is almost non-existent with twice-daily cleaning.

We were told 30 days to allow the plaster to cure by out PB.
