Re: Exposed Aggregate & SWG
I was told when I started mine up that the salt in the water would affect the curing of the plaster. I assumed it had something to do with the plaster being mixed with fresh water and the salt in the pool sucking the moisture out of the plaster at an accelerated rate.
I don't remember the exact logic, but it's the same reason fresh water fish don't live long in salt water and salt water fish don't live long in fresh water.
Re: Exposed Aggregate & SWG
FUNNY you post this, we've always wondered....I read somewhere you weren't supposed to start the SWG for about 30 days, something like that, however, our pool builder came out to do the startup and that included SWG and everything........salt in, swg on.......from day one.
Seems like they didn't care about the instructions in the Aquarite manual, but who was I to say anything...
How would I know if there was any problem.
Re: Exposed Aggregate & SWG
We've been dealing with plaster pools and instant salt additions and swc start ups for years without problems. However, I would recommend that if the plaster manufacturers "recommend" waiting a certain period of time, otherwise warranty may be voided, I would wait.
Fact is once the salt is dissolved, there shouldn't be a problem.
