Why Proper Pool Start-Up Matters

The first weeks after a new plaster or resurfacing are critical. Water chemistry, brushing, and careful monitoring help protect the finish as it cures. A strong start-up plan helps reduce the risk of avoidable surface issues.

When start-up support is most important

  • New plaster or newly resurfaced pools
  • Major drain/refill events where chemistry needs careful stabilization
  • Pools returning to service after long downtime
  • When you want to reduce early finish issues and protect appearance
