    Additional Notes:


    STH has allowed 4 hours per pump/basin to perform start-up on the sump/sewage pumps. Please designate which system tag pump(s)/basin(s) you want started up:

    Can STH start all systems up on the same day?*

    Are the panels wired?*

    You will be contacted by an STH Service/Account Representative on how the startup request will be scheduled. STH startup team is not responsible for wiring up panels.


    STH requires 10 working days’ notice to schedule a start‐up. STH has allowed 3 hours on-site to perform start‐up on the pump system between 6:30am – 3:30pm, Monday – Friday. Any requests outside of these times / dates will be an additional charge. This form must be completed before anything can be scheduled.

    If the Start Up is canceled without 24 hours’ notice, you will be invoiced a $500 Cancellation Fee. Delays caused by other trades are your responsibility and do not absolve you of paying the delay and / or Cancellation Fee. Please make your Field Supervisor aware of these requirements and charges so they are ready when we arrive.

    Please note: that if STH arrives and the site items listed below are not ready for start-up and STH has to be rescheduled, then a return visit will require the contractor to provide an additional Purchase Order number for the original Full Start-Up amount to be charged as an extra. Any additional work during any start-up event beyond the standard scope will be invoiced at $147 per hour per man plus a $147 Travel Charge (Minimum $688) plus any materials needed.


    The following items must be completed before STH arrives.

    • Due to safety concerns, it is a requirement for the contractor or their representative to remain on-site with the STH startup representative for the duration of the process.

    • Due to safety concerns, it is a requirement that a representative whom is English speaking be available to translate and provide communication assistance during the startup process.

    • Contractor must pull pumps and have them sitting above ground so pump rotation can be verified and serial number(s) documented for warranty purposes

    • Due to possible loosening of fittings during shipment, the installing contractor is responsible for confirming all fittings and hardware are tight inside the basin.

    • If the junction box is in the pit, the contractor responsible for that wiring needs to be onsite, should there be an issue
