      I've been cleaning pools for 3 years and I have seen some very dirty and abandoned looking yards around pools and they stay super clean as long as someone empties the skimmers and checks the equipment and chemicals every week other than that the pool does the rest of the work keeping itself clean

I imagine this clean up process alone already cost the customer a lot of money, they still have to buy pool chemicals, fill the pool up(which is the cheapest thing they paid for in this whole thing by $100s!

      And a paint job is expensive. I know for my area. 1 gallon of paint + 1 paint of the epoxy mixture is $100. Just like your house one gallon does not go that far. So, i bet a paint job is over $1k after the pool was cleaned they would still have to wait for a period of clear weather for the pool to dry from the clean up, then paint, than a day or so for the paint to dry.
      They did a great job on this clean up, it's a long process

    It always makes me stunned how people let their pools go this dirty because in Brazil you would be fined if you didn’t clean your pool regularly. We have something called Sanitary Supervision that inspects anything that could be a danger for public health. Especially because of dengue risks.

      First off, I am not putting you down. I am putting down your governments piss poor protection of it's people. Think about this for a few minutes. (I used 2018 data because, it has been verified)...
      Brazil had 160 deaths from Dengue in 2018. Also, Brazil had 57,358 murders in 2018.
      Meanwhile that same year the UK had 809 murders and no mosquito borne virus deaths.
      Your country has Sanitary Supervision??? WTF? What is the point? Wear some bug spray or start using genetically modified mosquitoes to stop the massive breeding. Anyway...While I understand the importance of protecting the people from Dengue. Your country has much bigger problems than some mosquitoes.
      I feel bad for anyone living is a Socialist country. The USA is following in the footsteps of Brazil. All because, so many have been fooled by fake problems created by politicians trying to get elected. They have become so stupid in my country that even when this moron Biden says the dumbest shit and does the dumbest shit. They still think it's a joke. I've never seen so much ignorance in my life.
      Lastly, I have a 6m x 12m pool that holds 124918L of water. I keep it very clean. I am a bit obsessed with it. I turn on my robot daily, skim the top, check chemicals every 3 days and run my pump 10 hours/day.

      @Rastaman well there are no leaks since it's holding water. So the plumbing should be fine. When they turn the pump on that could be a different story. Bad pump, replace pump, leaking with pump on there that would need to be addressed. But i assume any structural damage he would have noticed during clean up and would have told owner. And would have mentioned in the video. Pools like this are 30-50k low end. If there is underground water, and it's bad enough of could push the pool out of the ground and that's a nightmare to deal with by they seemed to have no issue there

      I think if you get better at some of the basic pressure washing techniques, it will come out a lot better. Not sure what you were using to kill the algae, but a high chlorine mix would have done wonders especially on the side wall. The pool came out decent enough I think. But sometimes when I watch you guys using the pressure washing wand, I just want to reach through the screen and grab it out of your hands. Hope you don't take that the wrong way because you guys obviously care a lot. But, yeah your not using the pressure washing equipment you already have to its full potential IMO. Either way, keep up the hard work. Great vids!

I would also pay for someone to come through & clean all the pipes with a pressure washer like drain cleaners do, once the pool is empty.

    Bro I love your videos and these disgusting transformations. Please keep them coming. If you don’t mind one productive criticism please get a more powerful pressure washer or partner with a local pressure washing company so they can pressure wash the whole pool deck and area for you and you can concentrate on the pool itself. It would be a win-win for both of you and the other company.

      sodium hypochlorite, or swimming pool chlorine has a typical strength of around 14/15%, which is about 4.5x stronger than household bleach. Diluting the chemical alters the strength, with 1% being 1:14 and 7.5% at 1:1.

    I just hate the design of this pool in general. It creeps me out. The water was even clearer when it was "swampish", which unironically made it look better. Definitely need a better power washer, too.
