HOW I CLEAN UP THIS GREEN POOL!

Opening up this pool for summer! The water was quite clear but there was a lot of algae stuck to the surface which needed brushing! The results are amazing! Crystal clear water!!
Let me know what you think!

Just don’t turn your multiport valve counterclockwise like he does. Bad for the fittings inside and will cause them to leak.

Hi, I’m in north east and get pool open close by a company, when I opened the pool this year the whole floor is covered with green algae. I’ve mesh cover and The closing company puts some chemicals at the time of closing but that might not be enough. How much shock I should add in middle of the season? my pool is about 30 thousand gallon. Thanks in advance for your help.

[@lynnmanson2387]

This just happened to my son. He bought a house with a pool and took off the cover, and it looked and smelled like a pond. 2 inches of black, stinky, sludge on the bottom. After 5 days of scooping, scrubbing, vacuuming, backwashing, and a lot of chlorine, it’s crystal clear.

[@keithkimsten5111]

[@dawnmccain9858]

We live on the Texas gulf coast, the weather mostly stays warm enough that we don’t have to winterize our pool or equipment. If the temps drop we just keep the equipment running. We have weekly pool maintenance such as your self, but I love watching your videos and the chemical process that you use to transform these pools. We did have issues with algae last year, since the largest chlorine mfg here in the US was shut down after being hit with two major hurricanes in 2020 since they were located in SE Louisiana, the chlorine tabs available were coming from China and a much lower active chemical content. I had to learn about shocking and other things to keep our pool in swimmable condition between our weekly maintenance appointments with our pool guy! Much respect for what you do!

I've worked on pools since 1992 and have never seen a wall brush like yours in Florida. I use liquid chlorine (Bleach) in 2.5 gallon jugs and sodium Bromide as an algicide (bromine powder/ Yellow treat) and a flocculant to make everything sink after brushing and Vacuum to waste like you did, sometimes with a portable pump I have if they have a cartridge filter or no waste line on their equipment.

[@johnnysouth4982]

31 years doing this over 4000 pools nice to see someone who takes pride in doing this you do alot of the same things I do on openings except I shock then brush the pool was like watching myself don't ya just love you ever changing office view each day stay safe ✌

I think this is one of your videos I’ve enjoyed the most. You seemed to know what questions I had as I was watching & you said simply - as well as seeing from actual start to fin. Cheers 👍

[@rupe53]

A pro tip that was given to me a few years ago was to shock a pool over the winter. Here in the northeast US that would mean pealing a corner of the cover back (2 sides) and dumping a gallon of shock in each side around December 1st. Do it again after Easter. When the cover is removed in May it will NOT be green, although there will be some junk on the bottom. This saves that week of waiting for things to clear up, and a whole lot of brushing.

[@curtzeek8818]

I live in the north east in Pa. I put shock in when I close it in October and never bother with it again. I open it up in May and the water is crystal clear. I have had many pools over the last 35 years and have always done the same thing, and always had good results. When you put shock in, make sure you are using the right amount for the gallons of water in your pool.

[@rupe53]

@@curtzeek8818 ... in this case it's the typical inground, 18 x 36 (over 20k gallons) but due to the heavy tree population it gets junk, even with the cover on for the winter. (goes under the edges) That's why we do the second dose in the spring.

[@RMYD002]

I agree with Curt. I live in Southeast PA and we have a solid safety cover not mesh like as the one in the video. Chems are put in upon closing and opened in Spring it's clear and blue other than some debris and worms etc.

[@Deano_P]

I love your videos so much. Not only are they very interesting to watch, but the sound of your voice and the water sounds are so so relaxing. This is defo ASMR for me. 😊❤️❤️.

[@edwardspoolservice5558]

That cover is the reason I use solid covers. Pools are good to go in about 36 hours after opening in the spring. A good trick to make it easier to pull the cover off is to leave it all attached, and then fold, using the squares as a guide, folding from one end to the other, pulling anchors as you go. I tend to add granular to the pool before brushing, helps kill the algae first. Find it releases better. Ever thought about getting a deck pump for when pools are that bad, easier to clean out the pump basket, and less wear and tear on the clients equipment. Get the larger vacuum head!!!! will double your productivity or more. Did a great job, but there are a lot of ways to increase your productivity.

[@circusofmisfits1414]

Personally I would’ve added a silicone lubricant to the unions, and plugs to ensure the stay moist. Dry seals tend to crack. It’s also a good idea to go clockwise when rotating the filter valves. Not to mention why the hell did he leave the bottles of chemicals in the pool over the winter? He did a great job overall though.

[@JamesWhiteszln6z]

That cleaned up nicely, but I am fortunate to never have a green pool at opening. In fact, the water is usually crystal clear but with fine sediment on the bottom that creates some cloudiness when stirred up. But, we have an autocover, which probably makes all the difference, as I'm able to open the cover a few times in winter and remove leaves/debris. Plus, the pool is always shocked during closing. My neighbor's pool, without an autocover, is nasty green at opening.

[@Cruner62]

I am a newbe on this subject, however, when I acquired a pool I applied a lot of common sense and much needed knowledge of chemicals. Chlorine is great for killing bugs and pathogens but it can also kill people if not used with caution and much needed knowledge. If the pool is outdoors in the sun the UV will kill off many pathogens if it is circulated but also encourage algae to grow if not circulated enough and through a filter. A filter will collect the offending pathogens where there is no sunlight and so algae will not grow quickly so small amounts of Chlorine is required and the main pathogens can be be controlled with direct UV fitted to the water system.

[@LadyLove1991]

Just curious if after cleaning the pool and throwing those powders to clean the water, do you still changed the water?

[@rachelmayes298]

I find your videos really relaxing 😌 although I know you work really hard. It must cost a fortune to have a pool 🏊‍♀️ that size heated? Especially as the fuel prices are being hiked all the time.

[@susanowens6393]

Been watching you videos and wanted to know how much would it cost to clean a 36ft by 18ft in ground kidney shape pool. It holds 25,000 gallons of water. Has a lot of algae on the bottom.

[@ElliLavender]

Imagine being rich enough for a pool like this. Like, even if you inherit the house with the pool from your grandparents or something, keeping a pool like this clean and running must be pretty expensive.

[@lukas7417]

You can do this yourself easily. Its no rocket science.

[@tonymak9213]

Yep, I run a pool which is 12x6m. That's over 100m3 of water. It takes 8 hrs to fill the pool from a water tank, therefore I run the pump 8 hrs every day the pool is open, to make sure the water is filterered every day. The more the sun shines on the pool, the more chemicals you need to add. Shock chlorine, and sulphuric acid to keep the ph of the water neutral. Plus multifunction tablets which constantly dissolve, if you let it go, and things start to look green, you need to add algicide. Then there's the vacuuming, maybe once or twice a week, a real pain in the butt. On my pool it used to take about an hour (manually), then I bought a robot, which cost about 900 euros, which is a life saver. Drop it in the pool, let it run a few hours, pull it out and wash out the filters, takes about10/15 mins. I found a fix for that too, that's now down to 2 mins. Oh and my electric bill is horrendous. Another tip, except people advise against it, I actually empty the pool late sept, and refill in June, I put the water back in my storage tank. But cooling off in the pool after a hard day's work in summer, and a cold beer afterwards, siting poolside lessons the pain of the rest.......for now !

[@dadmadedinner5456]

Just opened my pool yesterday, I always expect it to look like this one when I take the cover off, but it never does.

[@sharondensmore5052]

My water has lots of iron in it and when mixed with the chlorine it turns green. What do you recommend to use?

[@beachside1]

Wouldnt be easier to just dump like 3 or 4 jugs of chlorine and just wait to the next day a tada the pool is clear and then just go to a pool store and let them tell you what it needs to finish the clarity. Great looking pool. Stay cool bro

When ever i have hoovered my pool, i always hoover to the filter , and after i finished, backwash to waste and then flush, saves loosing a lot of water. Especially if you have just spent 10-15 mins of pumping your pool out, just wondering what the real difference is between hoovering to waste and the way i do it.

[@rupe53]

it would appear to be a sand filter so for the first vac of the season it's probably better to waste a bit of water and not clog the media. It will take a week to get the chemicals right anyway and a clean pool will need less chlorine to get the water clear.

[@crayzii3_modzz459]
