PristineCheck® Pool Startup & Mineral Sequestrant

PristineCheck® Pool Startup — Water Balancer & Mineral Sequestrant

Give your pool the perfect foundation before every season. PristineCheck® Pool Startup by PristineBlue is a professional-grade liquid mineral sequestrant that binds excess calcium and other hardness minerals in your water — preventing stubborn stains, ugly scaling, and cloudy water before they start. Whether you're opening your pool for the first time this year, refilling after a drain, or battling hard source water, PristineCheck prepares your pool for a cleaner, clearer swim season.

Why Use PristineCheck?

  • Sequesters excess calcium and other minerals that cause staining and scale buildup
  • Prevents equipment damage and unsightly deposits on pool surfaces and fixtures
  • Prepares water to get the most out of the PristineBlue chemical system
  • Improves overall water clarity and boosts sanitizer effectiveness
  • Works with virtually every pool system — chlorine, bromine, salt, ozone, UV, and more
  • Available in 8 fl oz (spa size), 32 fl oz, and 64 fl oz bottles

Dosing & Application Instructions

Pools: Add 2 oz per 1,000 gallons of pool water. Run your filter for at least 6 hours (up to 24 hours for best results), then backwash your sand or D.E. filter — or thoroughly clean your cartridge filter — before introducing PristineBlue. Wait one full day after applying PristineCheck before adding PristineBlue to the water.

Spas & Hot Tubs: Add 10 mL per 100 gallons of spa water. Run the filter for 4–6 hours, then remove and clean your filter media before proceeding with your spa care routine.

Pro Tip: Use PristineCheck at every pool opening, after any refill, or anytime your source water tests high in calcium hardness. This single step can save you hours of troubleshooting down the road.
