Is new-plaster startup different from an opening?

Yes — a fresh surface needs a specific brushing and chemistry sequence, which is priced separately from a routine seasonal opening.

Does it include equipment startup?

Bringing the pump, filter, heater and salt system online is included as line items.

Can it roll into ongoing service?

Yes — a startup can flow straight into a recurring maintenance plan.
