|   These   Installation and Start-up Checklists serve as the  foundation for the CIDWT  National Installer  Curriculum materials. The checklists were developed in  conjunction with industry stakeholders and provide details on proper installation techniques and  steps for commonly used technologies.  This  information can be integrated into the professional installer’s business model  as appropriate.  The checklists may be  used for evaluating commercial or industrial systems; however, additional  installation checklists may be needed for installation of systems other than  those serving single-family residences. A startup checklist is included for  many of the technologies. The activities on the startup checklist are necessary  to verify the system was installed correctly and clear the system for  operation. The startup checklists also document important parameters useful to  the O&M service provider or for system troubleshooting and repair, if  needed. The checklists do not however, detail activities related to the startup  of biological processes, namely establishing microbial populations.
