Manuals beat folklore
Filter cleaning triggers, heater winterization, salt ranges, and automation behavior vary by equipment family. Record exact model numbers first, then use the matching manual.
Photograph and label the whole system
Start with a permanent record before anything is taken apart or reprogrammed.
Identify the core equipment
At minimum, identify the pump, filter, sanitizer system, and any heater or automation controller.
Create the reference sheet you will actually use
A usable equipment record prevents panic troubleshooting later.
Add safety checkpoints while you are there
Inventory work is the right time to catch hazards that get ignored for years.
- → Do not open electrical panels or gas-train assemblies unless you are qualified to do that work safely.
