The fact that the indoor pool was left alone SO LONG that it started growing and supporting an ecosystem of plants is wild.

I am a pool cleaner myself. Though it can get super nasty and the smell can hit you like a brick wall, I can’t deny that using the pressure washer is super satisfying

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. :)

I am a pool and want to thank these heroes for such an outstanding work, I feel honored!

i work as pool builder and ya its sometimes nasty, but we never treated water that was contaminated, its way quicker to empty it and cleanit

"The customer has requested for the pool to be cleaned without emptying it"
> Literally a tank of mosquito nest and polluted toxics that have to be treated with chemicals

I assume those people did drink some of that water while swimming. Even though it's processed, that's the same water that had been contaminated for months with wiggling mosquito larvae and it still creeps me out.

As a Landscape Technician and Farmer, I'm so glad they said, "put the plants in the Compost Heap" because the Plants can be reused and grown somewhere else.

He's brave enough to wear sneakers while cleaning that nasty pools

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.

omg poolguy once again is getting the recognition he deserves

[msjswapnil]

One customer requested the pool to be cleaned without emptying it

[ImTrIgGeREdd]

I always wondered why people buy houses with pools but don’t do the work to maintain it. It’s really not that hard

[feeesh]

I really loved how those plants were growing, it was like a pond

[alexanderhope]

that sound of the salt going into the pool is very satisfiying 5:40

[triciasdiary]

I actually watch this guy, and he's amazing at what he does, SO SATISFYING.

[trainmaster]

I’m glad they saved the frogs! Hopefully all of em at least

[elaineg]

I volunteer to take care of our community pool. I used to have my own pool before I moved. There’s nothing like walking poolside around 10/11pm with the brush to disturb settlement at the bottom and net scoop to remove the floating June bugs. In goes the Polaris.. it’s a satisfying job :)

[thajratasupanan]

3:07 imagine if you accidently fall into the pool in the process of cleaning

[Nuclei_Breaddo]

The way he removes the plants

*its so amazing*

“Plants started growing inside of it which isn’t typical for an indoor pool”
Well I just don’t believe this
