DIY Pool Care

Best do it yourself pool videos on the web! Thanks Kenny!

I started cleaning pools almost three years ago. it's kind of been making me sick worrying about handling the chlorine tabs with my bare hands, I've tried using gloves but they're just too much of a hassle. Using those tongs is brilliant, thank you!

You know what this video needs? Zany sound effects.

I took the light out of the pool yesterday. The seal on it wasn't seated properly and let water to come into the housing. Took it apart, drained the water out of it, and dried it with a towel. I put it back together and tested it by putting it under water to check for bubbles and didnt see any. The GFI was reset and now the light works again. YAY! Thank you. Love your channel and get alot of helpful info and encouragement to do these repairs and maintenance myself.

I like to use the nitrile gloves you can buy at the local hardware store I put a pair on every time I am servicing a customer on my pool route. They keep me from touching reagents or getting and chemicals on my hands. They work great!

Kenny, thanks for the video. Just got rid of my pool service so I'm venturing to do it myself.

Very good information for a new pool owner. Thank you.

Thank you for your input. The light was replaced when we bought the house a few weeks ago. I noticed that the light has water in it today when we were swimming. I have an electrician coming tomorrow to look at it.

Nice video. Thanks for posting it. I came here looking for tips to maintain my own pool.
TBH I thought your multi tool thing was overkill. Then yesterday I lifted my skimmer lid and found a baby copperhead curdled up in there. He was not happy to be disturbed.
Let's just I will be using something other than my finger to open the lid moving forward.

I have the Salton, exterior over the edge, salt system. I rinse my pump filter out. I'm a stickler for clean.

dont forget to mention....to just dump all the baskets in the clients backyard landscaping week after week

[aaron-tkh]

Nice video, , i have a question.. dont you have to bleed the system out, when you open the pump basket? Also dont you have to fill the baket with water before close it.? Thank you.

[daryldettmer]

not to criticize but i would have skimmed the top of the water before i brushed the sides of the pool... also when you open the pump basket you could close the jandy valve so it wouldnt suck so much air while your emptying the basket, also i didnt see you clean the cartridge filter or vacuum the pool ? I use to do this type of work way back when and it was fun watching your video it took me back to some good memories .... thanks

Great videos👍 I’m here in AZ also, interested in getting into the business. What’s the best way to start? Do you have a mentoring program? Thanks for the valuable content

[Crimsonjewel]

This is the same system we have. Ours is just over a year old with the salt ell being replaced twice. Thanks for all your great information especially on algae...looking for information on browning around the pop-ups.

Just started my career as a pool service technician

[franglophile]

Where did you get the hook tool? Do you have links for where you buy all the products you use?

[Samstraysongs]

Hi Kenny, Nicely done, you're a cool young man!

[cobbb]

Shouldn't you fill the pump basket area with water before starting the pump? Or is that not necessary with this model?

As a weekly service does your chlorine stay at 3-5 like in the video throughout the week ? Or do you have problems with burn off ?
