What’s Included in a Professional Startup


Initial Setup & Guidance

  • Fill coordination guidance and equipment start-up sequence
  • Establish filter pressure baseline; inspect pump, valves, heater, and automation

Chemistry Establishment (LSI-Aware)

  • Test and balance pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness
  • Stabilizer (CYA) setup at the right time for your system
  • Sequestering/metal control as indicated by source water
  • Chlorination plan per surface and builder guidance

Brushing & Dust Management

  • Daily brushing schedule (steps, benches, walls, tile line)

Filter & Circulation Optimization

  • Backwash/clean filters; cartridge soak when required
  • Run-time optimization to clear fine particulates quickly

Salt & Heater Considerations
