time to get this pool open then for the summer i did do a youtube video where i shut it down but it didn’t get me to visit during the winter or anything so as you see the floor now it’s gone quite green so we’re gonna get the cover off and brush it up get all the equipment running again and shock it foreign badminton racket a big stick let’s get some of these leaves off first makes it a bit easier oh pull it towards you have to brush up all these leaves around the edge before they go in the pool like these ones so well aaron’s out there then sweeping up the leaves i’ll put the plant room back together remember i took all the bungs out to drain the equipment so it didn’t freeze if it did get that cold during the winter that’s the pump primed it’s just the air coming out of the jets well the whole system you’re going to get a brush 360 brush brush all the floor and the sides and the tiles getting all the algae which is stuck
All nice and loose granular shot going in then to kill off all the algae and then we’ve got some um stabilizers granules as well check out the ph levels make sure they’re all good we’ve got the ph levels within range so the chlorine works efficiently so so yeah paul’s all running shocked chemicalized there’s a couple of tablets in skimmer i might put a sparkle tablet in there it’s not going to clear it 100 but it will help and the customer here usually jet washes up all the copings and stuff themselves so you see the chip wash in there so yeah hopefully next time i’ll come there that’ll all be done and then paul will be nice and clear and i’ll hoover it and it’ll be ready for the summer back here a few days later then paul is all nice and clear and debris settled on the floor it’s about 90 percent clear well about 90 clear i’m going to vacuum it to waste and i don’t think i need to get my equipment out i know the copings are dirty still i don’t need to get my equipment out and i think i’ll just back it to waste through their system because this is all the leaks that are in there really to be honest with y’all so it’s not a lot i’ll do a bit of netting first to get all the bits that’s stuck to the tile netted up and then yeah start hoovering all this dust on the floor is nice and loose hopefully let’s get cracking so on this pool there’s three suction points there’s the main drain down there on the floor there’s the skimmer right there and then right there is the back point so i’m going to prime up the hose get all the vacuum gear up and plug it on to that back point and in here the plan is the back point the skimmer and the main drain or the sun whatever you want to call it so what i’ll do is open the back point a little bit of air in there that’ll prime up though shut the skin off and shut
main drain so i’ve got all the suction power from that point and then once i’ve set it up i’ll go back in there again and put the multiport on waste guess what i need to do back all this to waste we’re all set ready as the prime’s all rolled out getting all the air out so when i plug it onto the suction point which you can just see there i can start moving straight away and the pump doesn’t deprive into the plant and then turn the pump off put on waste turn it on and then get back to the vacuum equipment as quick as you can because obviously once you once you’re on waste it’s just basically draining the poor water obviously try and get it done as quick as i can but i can’t move too fast otherwise all this settled algae just go up and cloud the pool even more so check out the underwater shots so about halfway with it and i’m just avoiding the middle part i’ll get all the sediment dead algae and whatnot with and then leave the leaves until last that way i don’t have to keep emptying the basket [Music] there’s a road like literally right behind me there is trees separating it but just finished hoovering here’s all the bits there was another one but i knew there was going to be a couple at least it’s quite a small basket on the stay right pumps but yeah that’s just going to get spread out around this is where they chuckle their leaves in that basket back in lid back on back on to filter skimmer left closed because the water’s a little bit too late a minute so we’ll just run it on the sump so yeah this what i’m gonna do it’s not 100 there so what i’m going to do is as you can see there you can just about see the vacuum head and the gopro there i’ll put in sparkle tabs rebalance the chemicals and when i open this pool i then come back every week to maintain it so let’s fast forward to next week hopefully it’s a nice sunny day maintenance day then let’s get the cover off and see how we’re looking so looks very great crystal clear obviously just some debris in it over since i haven’t been here for a week but yeah it’s looking good also the customers chair washed all around the pool as well makes it a lot better and they have been using it as well which is good just knit out these two toys now we job done follow your boy for the pool work you
