When can I start my SWG? Heater?

[EricF]

Just checked the aquarite manual- It recommends 10-14 days after plastering before adding salt. As I said, my builder added it after 1 week and have not seen any bad effects (yet, its been 3 seasons). Maybe the builder is just being cautious. If you are maintaining the Cl without the generator easily, there is no problem in waiting.

You want me to ask the same pool builder (well really one of his employees) that told me the Nature2 they added to my pool equipment was like a big "Brita" filter and would remove metals from the water? When in actually I came to find out that it "adds" metal to the water

I am sure the builder's people are just doing what think is right without really understanding any of the details or background. The people I am able to deal with seem fairly non-technical.

In all fairness, I called and actually spoke to somone at the pool builder who seemed knowledgeable and she actually told me the truth that the Nature2 adds metal to the water. The pool company I am dealing with is too big for me to trust anyone that I can actually speak to.

Anyway, I am going to start the system up over the weekend. Worse case is I get a little less life out of the cells. This goes for the heater also. Gonna start running that before it gets too hot to make real difference - lol

Thanks much for the help!
