New pool, Gunite next week. Will be using WetEdge Primera Stone Basalt finish. Does anyone have experience (positive or negative) with Primera Stone and salt water?
WetEdge Primera Stone finish with Salt Water pool

I have Saphire Treasure with a salt pool. No issues whatsoever. Total myth that 3500 ppm salt water can do anything to any surface in or around your pool.
The only thing I would change about my plaster is I would eliminate any Abilone Shells and add more glass beads. I hate the “exposed” abilone shells as they stain. Bound to have a few.

I have Wet Edge Primera Stone for past 4.5 years. I only recently installed a SWCG however prior to that I used liquid chlorine and my salt levels reached 2800ppm with no issues to the plaster. My current salt level with a SWCG is 3000-3200ppm so not much difference from when I was using LC.
The whole family loves the smooth finish - would do it all over again if I had to.
I agree that it would be best to eliminate any Abalone shells as I have had to dig out 2 that were causing a stain. It was under warranty, and they simply applied a new mixture underwater and sanded by hand. Cannot even tell there was an issue. These were dime size spots.

Appreciate the quick responses, folks. Primera Stone seems like a decent product and the smooth finish is a real plus. Hopefully the "re-polish, not refinish" idea will turn out to be true in 10 or so years!
