Default Best time to put in service the saline detector pump on unit start-up

Hi!I was glad I came across this site. Thanks to the developer. This will surely help me and lot more others while working in a power plant chemical laboratory. Have done a lot of start-ups, but still I would like to confirm on the optimum time of starting the saline detector pump @ the hotwell during start-up. Our practice is to start the pump during water conditioning, before boiler filling, that is so we can detect earlier of any condenser leak. However I read in some books, it is better to start the pump when there is vacuum, so that it wont give false high reading. Hope you can help me with this.
Thanks!
