Residential & Commercial
What’s Included in Our Startup Process
After your pool is filled, we take care of the steps that turn still water into a balanced, swim-ready environment. This includes brushing the walls and floor to remove plaster dust, running the circulation system nonstop, vacuuming debris, and adjusting chemicals in phases. We test and balance chlorine, pH, alkalinity, and stabilizer slowly and carefully to avoid surface damage and reduce the risk of cloudiness or staining. During this time, we also inspect the pump, filter, and other components to confirm they are operating correctly. Each visit builds toward clear, safe, and well-conditioned water.
Proper Balance & Care from Day One
Why a Professional Startup Matters
The first days of pool operation are the most sensitive. Surfaces like plaster and pebble need special care to prevent etching, streaking, or buildup. Adding chemicals too early or in the wrong amounts can cause long-term damage that affects water clarity and surface texture. Even brand-new systems can run into problems if pumps are not primed correctly or filters are overwhelmed with debris. With proper handling and careful attention during startup, these issues can be avoided. This early care lays the groundwork for a cleaner, more reliable pool that stays in better shape over time.
Who Can Benefit From This Service
Our startup service is ideal for anyone with a newly filled pool, whether it's a new construction project, a recent replaster, or a full renovation. It’s also useful for property managers and commercial locations preparing pools for public or seasonal use. Builders often recommend professional startups to meet warranty requirements, and homeowners appreciate the assurance that everything has been done properly. No matter the size or style of your pool, having an experienced team handle the startup gives you one less thing to worry about.
Our Services


How Our Services Work
Our Simple, Effective Process
Every service starts with a clear plan and ends with a pool that’s ready to use. We check your water, handle cleaning and equipment care, and keep you updated every step of the way. Our team follows proven methods to make sure your pool is safe, clean, and set for swimming. Check out common questions down below regarding our service.
What is a pool startup service and do I need it?
A pool startup service gets a newly filled pool ready for use. We brush all surfaces, circulate the water, balance chemicals in stages, and confirm equipment is working properly. This step protects new surfaces from stains, cloudiness, and future problems by making sure everything is done right from the start.
After filling when should startup begin?
Startup should begin once the pool is filled. Waiting too long can lead to plaster dust, algae, or staining. Early circulation and chemical balancing protect your pool surface and get things ready for regular use.

What surfaces require special care?
New plaster and pebble surfaces need extra care in the first weeks. Without proper treatment, they can stain, etch, or scale. Brushing and gradual chemical adjustments protect your pool’s finish. Even if it looks clean, the right care keeps the surface in good condition for the long run.

Ivan and his team are AMAZING!!! The attention to detail and commitment he has for his customers. They will not complete their service until the pool is clean. Not one leaf will be left in the pool. HIGHLY suggest and recommend them.

Brent S.
Ivan has been amazing with our pool care. You will not find another Pool servicer that will take more pride and care of your pool than Ivan and Aqualux Pool Care. There have been times where I have questions about something going on with my pool late on a weekend and Ivan has been able to answer those questions fairly quickly. If you are looking for a Pool Cleaning Service, Aqualux Pool Care and its owner/operator Ivan should be your next and last call. If I could give APC an extra star I would. 10 outta 10 highly recommend!!
