EasyCare EC70064 – Startup-Tec New Pool Start-Up Treatment (64 oz)
Product Overview
Startup-Tec by EasyCare is a specialized treatment designed for new or recently remodeled pools. It accelerates the surface curing process, minimizes plaster dust, reduces acid and brushing needs, and helps prevent scale and staining on plaster, quartz, or pebble finishes.
Key Features
- Designed for new pool starts or post-renovation projects.
- Helps prevent most plaster dust, reduces labor and acid usage during startup.
- Advanced sequestering agent for metals—minimizes staining and film formation.
- Improves finish clarity and enhances color brilliance on exposed aggregate, quartz or pebble surfaces.
Technical Specifications
- Part Number: EC70064
- Volume: 64 fl oz (½ gallon)
- Application: New pool start-up or freshly plastered/resurfaced pool.
Recommended Dosage
The dosage depends on water volume and finish type. For example:
- Up to ~10,000 gallons: 32 – 64 oz
- Up to ~15,000 gallons: 48 – 64 oz
- Up to ~20,000 gallons: 64 – 128 oz
- For winter startups or pigmented finishes: consider the higher end of the dosage range.
Applications & Fitment
This treatment is ideal for new or recently resurfaced in-ground swimming pools (plaster, quartz, exposed pebble) where you want to streamline startup, minimize plaster dust, brushing and acid handling, and protect the pool finish from scale or staining. Always verify pool volume, finish type and water chemistry before use.
Usage Instructions
- Ensure the pool is filled to normal operating level and the filtration system is running.
- Adjust pH and alkalinity to recommended ranges before adding the treatment.
- Add the Startup-Tec product in the recommended dosage based on pool volume and finish type.
- Circulate water for several hours, monitor clarity and brush lightly if needed. Continue standard startup chemistry protocol.
- After the initial cure period, test regularly for calcium hardness, stabilizer, pH and alkalinity to maintain balance.
Troubleshooting
- Excessive plaster dust after application: Verify dosage, ensure filter is clean, circulation is adequate, and brush lightly as needed.
- Surface mottling or discoloration: Check water balance, ensure filtration is operating correctly and that the finish is compatible with treatment.
- Staining or scale forming prematurely: Confirm that dosage was appropriate and that metal sequestering is functioning; correct water chemistry to prevent recurrence.
Maintenance Tip
Use this product during the initial startup or any time the pool finish is newly applied or resurfaced. After the initial curing period, maintain regular water balance and chemistry. Keeping up with treatments like EC70064 helps protect the finish, reduce maintenance effort, and extend the life of your pool surface.
