I'm hoping you guys can help out. I've looked but can't seem to find anything specific. Tomorrow after many years (actually 2), the finishers are coming out and laying down a plaster with 3M Colorquartz premium level Caribbean Blue Blend finish and we will be filling.

We are owner/builders so start-up falls on us. Can someone give us a link to start-up literature or explain the procedure? I called 3M and they haven't responded back (they referred me to a field rep who was on an answering machine and since I'm not a builder I don't expect a call back).

Pool specs:
16x32 pool
8x8 spa (with shared equipment)
DE Filter (when do we fill with de?)
Max-E-Therm Heater
Salt Water Chlorine Generator
Heliocol Solar

Any help would be appreciated, thanks,
Jo
