How do they clean the pools internals, like the piping, water filter and all the machine stuff hidden in the pool?

[@maddorori817]

The little goblins are so efficient at what they do that they're literally monopolized by big companies

[@cancelhandles]

I'm NOT professional, simply owned a decent pool a few years ago. Depending on filter type, it would likely need to be replaced or (in the case of a sand filter) have the filter medium changed or washed\backwashed. The pipes are likely cleaned with pipe attachments for the pressure washer or long, flexible brushes called 'sewer snakes' to scrub out the piping. As for the other machinery, my best guess is either disassembly and cleaning or chemical fluid washing.

[@brianblank9921]

If the estimated time for the pool to have gotten that bad (6 years ish) why is there still so much water in the pool? Shouldn't there be a lot of water loss from evaporation? Outdoor pools get refilled by precipitation, thus why you see almost full neglected outdoor pools. Six years is a long time for an indoor pool to still have that amount of water.

[@smilecentaur]

possivly because if there wasnt any water in it at all that could cause moe damage than just what the plants did, but i could be wrong there

[@mycatiswaysmarterthanmosto8500]

You need heat for evaporation. It would stay a loooong time in an air conditioned home.

[@brianblank9921]

@@mycatiswaysmarterthanmosto8500 that's a good point, evaporation does happen faster in warmer temperatures. But if it's cold, then mold grows way faster(it really didn't look like a slimy gross mess on the windows and other surfaces that should have been awful). And even if the room was kept at your average home temperature of mid 60's the evaporation should still have been significant.

[@colmreynolds9869]

Most indoor pools are in rooms separated from the ventilation system. The air would quickly get saturated with humidity and no more would evaporate. If there is nowhere for the water to go, it stays in the pool. If the temperature stayed the same the air would stay saturated and if the temperature went up and down it would condense and end up back in the pool. It's like a glass of water. Leave it on the counter and it will evaporate. Put it in a sealed Tupperware container and it won't be able to.

[@colmreynolds9869]

Thats why the air changes and smells so much like chlorine when you go to an indoor pool.

[@carlbeane9227]

Ahhh nice and clean. Ready for more years of neglect.

[@bubblezovlove7213]

Isn't it possible that putting all that water vapour into the air when you begin to clean, can potentially aerosolise some nasty or other you don't want to be breathing in? I had that same thought about high pressure sprayers that work off a water butt......

[@HardyLifestyle]

So satisfying to the eye

[@PayMe888]

Amazing how life only seeks to increase, expand, and advance.

[@Ozzy-R]

What about the water alkalinity and pH balancing? You do that before the granular chloride. Also would have to check the pump(s) and filter to make sure all is okay. It cost more to let a pool go bad than to operate it normally. We went a few days without power after hurricane Ivan and the pool got real bad real quick. Consider the debris in the pool from the storm then no water filtration... green pond in less than a day.

[@paulvanderzaal]

could you show how the pumpsystem is cleaned. with all the growing antlife in de pool the pumpsystem must be full with it too?

[@colmreynolds9869]

Probably wasn't. The chemicals will kill anything alive and anything that comes out will be caught in the filter. There isn't much oxygen or CO2 in there to sustain life, so the pipes were probably not as bad as the rest of it. Probably flushed them out with clean water before they filled it and let the chemicals do the rest.
