Another recommendation to make life easier in terms of maintenance - get a syringe with a thin plastic "needle" that can insert all of the way through the valve stem, so that you can easily and cleanly add and remove sealant without breaking the bead - https://www.amazon.com/Tubeless-Seal...dp/B07WR9MMDW/

Note: some valve stems have a constriction in the middle and won't pass the needle all of the way through. The machined aluminum ones, like from Muc-Off, will pass them, though.
Yea the stems that came with my wheels have a smaller opening at the base restricting the flow of the sealant and it takes longer and can be so messy if you push it in to fast. I bought some aftermarket stems and they have a larger opening and using the syringe tool is so much easier and far less messy.
