From Murky Waters to Brilliant Blue: Pool Transformation Story

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

We got 17.65 per hour to clean this pool. Subscribe if u think we deserve more.

[@CarlosAlberto-ii1li]

Excellent job, i hope you earned well out of it you deserve every cent.

[@rebamarshall2190]

How much would a pool like this cost to clean?

[@MarianaRibeiro-yx8op]

Hey do you guys use oscillating pressure washer tip ?

Pool came out great! However, for pools this covered in slippery algae, you might want to consider wearing a helmet for this initial rinse phase. One good fall backwards can really mess up your life. Stay safe out there!

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

@@hkspowers003 respect …. Yeah we have to be careful

[@philtucker1224]

Very true words buddy, I know of two people.

[@croissant912]

Excellent advice!

[@joshportie]

Glad this is the top comment and not something ridiculous.

[@joshportie]

Perhaps also only walk on the surfaces you've pressure washed and cleared as well.

[@lilbrother45]

Commercial pool guy in CA here. I’ve been there. Great job! It’s always satisfying cleaning a green pool and seeing it crystal clear on the other side. Well done fellas!!

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

Appreciate that, it's a good feeling for sure!

[@sandyhughes1520]

My husband worked in the pool industry for 40 years, acid washing pools along with computer instructions. His body is covered in basal cell carcinoma and was just told he has lung cancer. I worked at the same place and I have pulmonary fibrosis. It is a very dangerous place to work.

[@kiaheiniketo889]

Great job🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉​@@LIVEBUILDLOVE

[@carolleenkelmann3829]

​@@sandyhughes1520 Thanks for your contribution. I'm sorry to hear of you and your husband's health problems. It's like smoking; every person's response to chemicals is different but generally, a person's experience speaks to the response of the majority. This is why a "safe workplace" is the responsibility of all, the employer, the employee and the Workers Union. Being informed and taking the correct precautions is necessary. People are still dealing with ASBESTOS in this day and age. I've known about the dangers of Asbestos for 65 years, thanks to my parents but still, not the necessary precautions are taken in disposing of old building materials. Most modern countries know about dangers but knowledge gets lost if people are careless and complacent. All the best to you both in a most difficult situation.

[@ANewDai42]

I usually watch roof and sidewalk cleaning. This was great!

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

Than you appreciate you

[@stephaniethompson3262]

These deep cleaning videos are so soothing!

[@hollyw9566]

That's a truly awesome pool there. Wow. Nice and deep. I absolutely HATE all these shallow pools everywhere now, and all overheated so you can't even cool off on a hot day. Give me one of these any day! Thanks guys for your beautiful restoration job! One day I dream to have a pool of my own, likely smaller but just as deep, so I can swim down and graze bottom in the cold, clear water. You did a fantastic job!

[@lyndaishaaa]

Right, big enough for the whole family on a hot southern summer day. Sad part about it is that most people can’t swim these days. Me and my siblings knew how

[@juleo1000]

Amazing work!! Got to say, both working on top of the acid one wearing a mask and the other one not made my anxiety spike 😱

[@angryowl5863]

Я не знаю как я здесь оказалась, но это было здорово. Сама не поняла как видео меня загипнотизировало 😅 с ума сойти какая большая работа была проделана. ребята, вы потрясающие! 😊 однозначно подписка. Желаю процветания вашему каналу!

[@210cutup]

amazing work but you should invest in a surface cleaning pressure washer it saves so much time and its definitely worth its price.

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

Great point!

[@twin_o7m.364]

Easier on the body too! 😊

[@smrriles5668]

And a rose head for your watering can

[@scott1564]

Agreed. Also have the guy spraying SLOW down his spraying technique. Let the tool, not his arms, do the work.

[@leonhosie3053]

Also a hot water blaster would probably saved a couple of passes. And with a rotary head unit much easier on the arms and body. Learned this as a cellarhand in large wineries. Great work and results though guys!

[@paulcarfantan6688]

Wow ! The difference is night and day. Beautiful result, great work.

[@joshportie]

A suggestion. Get the cheap dollar store dish washer gel detergent stuff and bleach and spray that all over the surface and wait. The gel mixes with the bleach so it stays on the surfaces of walls and curves. It melts algea and mildew. After it dries then pressure wash it. Guaranteed it works better than the acid you first used. Its bleach so plan accordingly with the wind so you have an escape route you don't want to block yourself in with fumes. Remember chlorine and chlorine bleach will eat through materials if they get around it enough so plan accordingly. Probably still safer than acid and cheaper as well as more effective.

[@tempus_fugit7366]

Fantastic work ! True story, one of my earliest childhood nightmares was of a disgusting green pool and there were terrifying creatures in it! Not going to lie, I was really creeped out by this pool when you first arrived. Your hard work produced amazing results!

[@jasonhayden7597]

Hard workers did a great job!!

[@msmela45]

The big guy should've been wearing a mask like the other guy. Always protect yourself

[@StMyles]

I would have never believed it was possible to reclaim that pool. Amazing

[@adaiahgraves1492]

I see a lot of comments that say do it this way or that way is faster but wouldn’t you want someone to take their time so you can get the best outcome instead of doing everything fast Great job to the man cleaning this pool

[@katjathefranknfurter2374]

It is not about being faster. It is about making your work easier for yourself and less hard on your body.

[@JaxStriker13]

That was incredibly awesome. You guys are miracle workers!

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

We try our best !!

[@Bigtuff123]

You need to find sodium hypochlorite, you can buy a mixer gun which mixes the chemical with soap so it becomes a foam, very fast to cover the whole pool and you just leave for 15 minutes and then rinse no heavy scrubbing needed it stays on the surface even on the sides of a pool or walls your cleaning, it will save you hours of work and with the mixing gun you will probably only use one or two barrels of chemicals and a little soap, your acid falls off the surface before it’s dissolves the dirty, great job just the time and effort not necessary, watch external cleaning videos on KZbin in the U.K. as we are very wet here and everything turns green in winter, you will see the chemicals and gun mixer being used by all the cleaners here ✌🏽

[@xplmr1]

Sodium Hypochlorite is just plain pool chlorine. It's as thin as the hydrochloric acid that they are using. In other videos where they use an X-Jet to soft wash apply the SH they add a surfactant that thickens and helps to foam up the SH so that it sticks better to increase the effectiveness during it's dwell time. This acid is a much stronger cleaner that actually dissolves or etches a little bit of the pool's gunite removing not only algae but other stains like orange, red, and yellow rust stains that SH would do nothing to. You really wouldn't want it on the surface any longer than necessary. That's why it instantly turns the surface white and then they pressure wash it off rather quickly. In some angles you can see what looks like smoke or steam from the acid giving of gas as it etches the surface. Cheers!

[@annemarie8483]

I thought I saw this being done really quick, before!

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

Good information. I will keep this in mind when I start my own company. I just use what they gave me in this instance.

[@katjathefranknfurter2374]

Same thoughts here.

[@carolanegordon4089]

I love before and after.videos. thanks!

[@rosemariesanchez1338]

Oh my goodness, how clean and sparkling this became!

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

It’s a totally different pool now right? Thanks for the feedback

[@thetrueblackgoth]

Super immaculate job! Very hard working men... Satisfying to watch.

[@Curiousmindnowwhat]

I agree, a surface cleaner is definitely a time saver. I used one to clean my 400-foot driveway in just a couple of hours. It also provides a more even cleaning job.

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

It definitely makes the job so much easier. I appreciate you for watching

[@lisamariemotta865]

This just came up in my feed! I'm subscribed! You did a fantastic job on this pool! TYSM! May God continue to bless and keep y'all always ❤🙌💯

[@ChewyLocos210]

Watching the chemical reaction from the acid hitting the algae was awesome to see. The two of you knocking it out in a couple of days is some boss type work. 🫡

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

It's definitely a process for sure! We appreciate you. Stay blessed

[@fw1421]

When was this pool built? Looks like something from the 70’s. I don’t think they build them like this anymore. Quite a large pool. Beautiful shape. That was a LOT of work!

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

Yes Been there awhile.. not sure how long. But it’s old

[@SandraHertel-u3b]

Wow that was one grubby, dirty pool. You guys did a great job and I understand just how many hours it too to make that pool clean and beautiful.

[@eduardohenriquelima]

Hard, heavy, rewarding and rewarding work. Congratulations!!!

[@tatianaallen8143]

You all did a excellent job cleaning that pool, I enjoyed watching it keep up the excellent work. This my first time coming across your channel.

[@sujathaviswanathan7210]

The transformation was awesome. Loved it.

[@devilblueduke]

That had to cost a lot of money to do. I know that’s a lot of work !! Great job !

[@PierreTheillere-gw7ft]

Everything was so relaxing: you have an amazing soothing deep voice, your speechless teamwork brings very calming strength, and raw watersounds or music are perfect! I have to mention that the yellow t-shirt + camo workpants + black rubber boots (and blue gloves!) suits you both very well...

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

😂 I appreciate you

[@scottalpert3444]

I used to acid wash and paint pools decades ago but never with a power washer. That was excellent, and makes me miss those days but I don't miss the acid fumes. Do you use soda ash in the end to neutralize the plaster? I used to. Also the waste water was always a concern flowing down the street. Hey I was young and there weren't many restrictions back them. I am sure I cleaned a lot of car tires in the neighborhood - or damaged them. Who knows?

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

😂… u know the struggles… but we spend some time to make sure it’s going directly to drains and add a little soda ash at the deep end while we work

[@たかしゃん-z1d]

綺麗になっていく様子が めっちゃ気持ちいい！

[@jeanmm2996]

Very hard work. Wanted more of blue pool coverage at the end. Great job! Very cool.

[@annawatkins2865]

New to pool cleaning.. n a new subscriber to your channel....this is sooooooo satisfying to watch 😁 good job done there 💯👊👌

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

Really appreciate you!

[@susanhockings6830]

Holy cow. I hope you both got paid well. What an epic transformation, WELL DONE.

[@hotbread1004]

Im so intrigued! What chemical did you use?? Ive never seen something come so clean that easily, what reaction did it have? Did it heat up or was it water vapor, did it react to the algae stains etc?

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

Yes, acid is strong! It removes the stained layer of plaster caused by algae, bringing back the original color. Just presurized water vapor not heated

[@anamariaferreiradepinho3774]

Excelentes profissionais!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@lordchiopet1630]

The thing looks brand new! Y'all are fantastic

[@Sixsix-de8tj]

[@Sixsix-de8tj]

Yay! Y'all can spell y'all.

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

Appreciate you ! We do ur best

[@georgegrierson]

Wow... you guys did an awesome job. Those corrosive chemicals you needed to use are terrible, though. Do you need to reclaim and treat that waste water and chemical treatment?

[@ronmurphy8085]

Easily reaching 10:1 dilution with all of the pressure washer discharge. Plus, it was diluted in the big grey drum before they used it in the watering can.

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

Yeah it was diluted

[@Lissa71]

Wow what a great job. Very fun to watch. I bet it wasn't so fun to do though LOL. Very satisfying. I am now going to go see if you have more videos like this lol

[@carolanegordon4089]

You guys are really hard workers. I bet your sore from all that. You rocked it though. Great job! I gotta subscribe so i can watch more of them. Thanks guys. Keep up the great work!

[@timpanda3780]

[@noreikagreen6842]

Well done! Great job! This pool looks massive.

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

It really is! Thanks for feedback

[@aimeemiller3606]

I am ignorant in the ways of deep cleaning a pool and chemical disposal. It looks like hard work. I'm curious where all the acid that was used is disposed of? Thanks

[@nandaspadoni]

É cloro. Foi pelo ralo. Ele limpa os ralos também... Normal . Toda casa descarta cloro pelo ralo

[@gbengoosewuru4139]

Looks great! Your next purchase should be a surfs cleaner. Time is money

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

Definitely!

[@PastelPalace]

For future reference, you always want your pump pushing uphill rather than sucking from up high. So the gasoline powered pump should have been down in the pool with you for best performance.

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

Good point… we use to do that but there we concerns about damaging the pool surface

[@kevinlucas8437]

Why aren't you both wearing ppe while you're using chemicals, but it looks fantastic !!!

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

Appreciate the feedback

[@shaylifestyle__]

Great work! However my only concern is why don't you guys invest in a pressure washer surface cleaner to quicken the process of getting all that green build up off the pool floor

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

Great suggestion! That does make the work easier. Will make not of that

[@gunhawk4892]

I'm not knocking your video AT ALL...especially for those viewers who enjoyed it!!! I was a pool contractor in Florida, by the Gulf of Mexico, and this video is "part" of my story regarding pool care....especially after hurricanes!!! In Florida we would come up with the occasional alligator or water snake as well!!!

What a great job you guys did here! The pool was both enormous and thoroughly disgusting!.....It looked as if nothing could ever restore it and one wonders how those in charge allowed it to get into that state. Well done and I enjoyed watching its restoration!

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

Really appreciate you ! Thank you!! This was a really tough one !

[@ReneColon-xk8ge]

Beautiful work!

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Sandraugiga]

What a work! Turned out great! Some question tho… is it the editing that makes it seem like you don’t give the chemical time to do its thing? Because it appears you immediately rinse it away from the surface. Or is it because you use a higher percentage of bleach that you need to do that, otherwise it bites in the pool? Also, why is only one of you wearing a mask? 😮 Working so close together must mean both of you must getting hit with those toxic fumes. Or… I dunno. 😅 please take care of yourself and keep up the good work.

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

Yeah it’s editing and you have to also take I. Consideration that the chemical can damage plaster (Pool surface )… so quicker we wash it off the better. He just didn’t want to. Thanks for the feedback

Excelente trabajo.

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

Thanks for watching 🙏

[@leveragelifestyle8581]

Look into what's called a sludge sucker. It attaches to the end of your pressure washing gun and creates vacuum which sucks up the water with the attachment and drains the water down the thicker hose it comes with. Could work for when you are left with low water and lots of sludge that the pump can't handle. Also look into a bucket sprayer. It's a lid with a 1 gallon per minute pump and a runs off a drill battery (12v or 18v). You can suck up that acid and spray it from a 5 gallon bucket with a hose rather than the watering can or adapt it for a larger bucket. Could be useful for you. You should also use a surface cleaner (16") since it looks like you're using a 4gpm machine (4" per 1gpm is recommended). I use a 16" with my 4gpm machine.

[@cameronluensmann6380]

Not sure if yall have tried it before but with the algae. Possibly try 10% pool bleach mixed with water and a surfactant. Possibly dilute it to a 4-5% mixture. Should will kill all the algae it touches but not sure what y’all have where y’all are at

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

Yes there are some cause we just bleach the heck out of the pool And leave it for couple days to circulate. But in some cause it’s too bad so we just drain and acid wash it

[@Cindi-j7c]

Great work!!

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

Appreciate it! 🙏

[@Jimmy-Legs]

[@amyblasingim2136]

Great job! I love your thoroughness and dedication to your job. And after your exhausted “subscribe” how could I not!

[@christopherharsh8837]

You should get a dirt eater tip for your pressure washer. It spins and cleans alot faster. I used to use them for cleaning crab pots.I think I got mine from tractor supply or grainger.

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

Appreciate the tip!

[@cheriecourville9430]

Wow, that pool was huge and nasty. You made it sparkle like a gem. Beautiful

[@LIVEBUILDLOVE]

Thanks! It was a long day, but worth it in the end

[@Jimmy-Legs]

Man, you guys are strong and in good shape. No need for the gym for you.

[@jamesgant88]

Have you ever heard of a down stream chemical injector? It's a game changing attachment for a power washer. It would eliminate the trash can full of chemical and the watering can application method. I used to clean kitchen exhaust systems, we'd apply the chemical detergent with a pump up spray bottle, the injector made life so much easier!

[@stevetaber4452]

Great job guys.🎉😊

[@obie84]

Great job with that pool transformation as I was watching a video. I was just thinking about my Auntie pool. We stay in Miami in her pool has been swimming with algae frogs little fish for 15 years and her pool is not near as big as the pool that she was working on, she needs help. She hasn’t had the money to hire a pool person to clean and fix the pool and which I was doing which is giving me the food was great by the way I’m a new subscriber.

[@SayderCascading]
