I originally had a 2.5A rated 19v switchmode laptop PSU before I hooked up the MeanWell PSU, and it (the 2.5A laptop PSU) started the pump up just fine every time.

I think 10A at startup is being very generous. A 5A rated PSU would suffice just fine at 24v, and a 3A rated PSU would also do just fine if running below 20v.
