6:24 He also added a "flocculant" along with that shocking cocktail. The flocculant is actually what sticks all the small bits of dead algae and leaves and dust together into big heavy chunks that sink. Without getting stuck together into conglomerated chunks, those little bits are light enough to float around and even slip through the sand especially if the sand is old and rounded and channeled. The flocculant is like magic. 😺 Oh, and the algaecide is a deep blue because it's a copper sulfate solution which is an absolutely beautiful blue color in crystal and liquid form. :)

[@patrickkitson9293]

There are several things that he and she said/did that are just plain wrong. I own a pool company, and I regularly chat with other pool owners in the area, and they'd 💯% agree that they got the following stuff wrong: 1. It doesn't take a week for salt to mix with the water and start producing chlorine, if the pump is on non stop it can take as little as 24 hrs to get a chlorine residual in the water. 2. You should never use a metal tipped shovel to clean algae from a pool. Use a plastic tip because if you damage the tile, the owner(and/or your boss) is going to expect you to pay for any damage. That may be damn expensive depending on the circumstance. The power washer and pump do 99% of the work anyway. 3. Several times he adds chlorine granules directly to the water. You simply DO NOT EVER DO THIS. If they are granules, they are sodium dichlor and won't immediately break down in the water. Due to the slope they will settle in a small pile or line on the tile and slowly corrode it. If you are using granules, you premix it in a 5 gal bucket, which takes all of one minute, then add it to the water. You do that with ANY caustic material being added to the water including pH down. Salt, on the other hand, is good to be added directly as he does. 4. If you keep perfect or really even decent water balance, your water will never go green. Adding a metal based algicide as a "preventive" to the water shows he doesn't trust his water chemistry skills enough to prevent it going green. Pros won't ever use algicide this way. They use it as a preventative only during winterization, or they use it as directed for treating standing algae. Using it like this guy does, is just wrong, and costs money without any benefit. Again, if this is to prevent algae, why doesn't you keeping your chlorine feeder full, your filter clear and your pH balanced keep the water clear? If it doesn't, you're doing something else wrong. That simple.

[@lilacscentedfushias1852]

Thank you Patrick, that was really interesting 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Partyaap050]

He does make sure the granules are mixed in the water. I seen it in some other videos. He basically uses one of his underwater broom things and gives it a big push. You see it dissolving immediately. Probably even easier and faster than dissolving it in a bucket first to be really honest with you

[@dere1048]

I thoroughly enjoyed that explanation Patrick

[@rubenmontano5589]

When I clean the pools, wether it's pebble tec finished surface or white plaster I pump the water out, pressure wash the interior washing all the algea off the walls and floors. Then the last step I do is wash the pool with chlorine and brush it down killing all algea and mold that builds up. Sometimes I also do a Muriatic acid wash to clean dirt or calcium build up.

[@johnchristmas7522]

Further to my other comments, I would add, water chemistry is a whole item within itself. Water seems innocuous enough but unfortunately its far more complicated than that. For a start, water dissolves everything into itself, so the initial picture of clear water holds within it a host of swimming pool problems. The very first for the professional is which chemicals are within the water, so full tests will show that and the necessary chemicals remedies before any disinfectant(chlorine) is added. Its always best, to seek the help of professionals before doing it yourself!

Also when you go to a pool especialy indoor ones and you get that huge nose scalding smell of chlorine that's not cause the pool is over chlorinated. That's the smell of the chlorine reacting with all of the filth people have on their bodies when they go into the pool. Hence why your supposed to rinse off before you go into a pool. Which is why pubic school pools always have that strong smell. Pretty much the strongest I've ever smelt in a pool. Lots of bodies in the pool at a time and you know there's at least one pool piss per class.
