Salt water conversion

I am having my Gunite pool resurfaced now and plan on switching to Salt water chlorine.  How long do Ineed to let it cure before I start the NaCl system?  How do I keep the water in good balance until I can convert?

Hello DGrows - We would strongly advise following the instructions provided by the pool surface contractor. However, we recommend waiting at least 28 days before adding salt and running the salt system.

As far as balancing the water before the salt system is in operation, get you water professionally tested. Adjust the alkalinity and pH before you add any chlorine (tabs & shock).
