New Pool Startup FAQs – Verrado & Buckeye
Why does a new pool need a professional startup?
A professional startup is critical because the water chemistry during the first 30 days directly affects the longevity and appearance of your pool's surface. Improper startup can lead to etching, scaling, discoloration, or permanent damage to plaster and pebble finishes.
What are the National Plasterers Council (NPC) startup procedures?
The NPC startup procedures are industry standards developed to ensure the best possible curing conditions for new pool interiors. They include guidelines for water filling, chemical balancing, brushing schedules, and equipment operation to protect against surface damage.
What happens if the startup process isn’t done correctly?
Improper startup can cause surface roughness, streaking, blotching, or calcium scaling. These issues are often irreversible and may void any warranties provided by the plaster company or pool builder.
Can I do the startup myself?
It’s not recommended. Water chemistry must be adjusted multiple times per day during the first week, and even a small mistake can result in long-term surface damage. Certified technicians follow precise NPC protocols using professional-grade testing equipment.
How long does the startup process take?
The initial startup process typically lasts 7–10 days, but the pool requires close monitoring for the first 30 days. This includes frequent brushing, chemical testing, and adjustments to support proper curing.
