Annual Pre-Opening Checklist

Last revised 10 September 2026

This is a checklist we use before starting work on opening the property.

  • AC Failover - Test a scenario where our primary cooling system fails and we move to the backup unit (within the main system).  TODO → Ask OT if testing this scenario is possible.
  • Fire Hose System Test - Conduct a test of the fire system.  Combine this with new staff training so they can get hands-on experience using the system.
  • Fire Extinguisher Check - Confirm we are within expiration date for the full year
  • First Aid Kit Inspection - Check all first aid kits, reorder supplies as needed.
  • Gate Inspection - Inspect gate, use the key to manually open the gate to ensure everything works okay.
  • Ground Vault Inspection - Open and inspect conditions within ground vaults, combine this with rat poison / traps.
  • Heating Failover - Run a test of the primary radiant heating system failing.  Since the fancoils also operate on hot water, this may not be a backup system.
  • Hot Water Failover - Turn off primary water system and confirm backup system is operational. Confirm posted instructions are still accurate.
  • Outdoor Furniture Inspection - Check all the outdoor furniture creating tasks for needed cleaning, repairs, replacement.
  • Pool Winter Cover Removal - Remove, clean, roll and store the winter cover.
  • Pool Inspection - Visually inspect the pool for any damage that needs to be fixed after the winter.
  • Power failure test - Cut power at source and confirm generator startup
  • Internet Failover - Turn of Starlink and confirm system continues working with EOLA
  • Regulatory Check - Confirm all our required registrations, insurance, permits etc are valid for the year.
  • Water system inspection - Visually inspect the system creating tasks for any maintenance or repairs needed.  Confirm backup supplies are on site, order any needed parts.
  • Water quality test - Submit water sample for quality testing
