Professional Pump Start-Up
A Great Start to a Longer Service Life
Much like any other piece of equipment, your pumps perform best when started up under the right conditions. Everything from the piping to and from the pump, to the base it sits on, to the operating conditions should be carefully considered.
APO offers pump start-up as a solution to protect your investment. Our technicians assess the installation beforehand to confirm conditions are appropriate, then commission the pump for a successful, well-documented start.

- Long-coupled, base-mounted end suction centrifugal pumps
- Long-coupled split case pumps, horizontal or vertical mounted
- Vertical turbine pumps
- Submersible pit pumps
- New pumps in a new system
- New pump models in an existing system
- A pump entering a system with changed operating conditions
- Any pump going into a critical system

How an APO start-up works
Three steps from assessment to a documented, running pump.
Pre-start assessment
We review the installation — piping, base, seals, motor voltage and operating conditions — to confirm everything is ready for a safe, successful start.
Controlled start-up
Trained technicians bring the pump online under optimal conditions and capture key readings as it runs.
Report & training
You receive documented start-up data, plus answers and maintenance guidance so your team can keep the pump running well.
What you get after a successful start-up
Every start-up is fully documented so you leave with a clear record and a confident team.
- Documented conditions such as bearing temperatures
- Electrical readings where applicable
- Suction & discharge pressures where available
- Alignment data where applicable
- Answers to operating questions
- Maintenance training on good practices
