I love the vacuum idea with the separate pump and motor. I have an old one I am going to hook up for when the pool is in bad shape.
Did you put in cal hypo as well on day 1? Or was the amount of chlorine you put in was enough that you didn’t have too? Sorry I just have tons of questions.
Also, I saw another video you did in dealing with green algae and you used cal hypo but not in this video? What type of cal hypo did you use ? ( was it “shockwave”)
What brush do you use to clean your pools?
Did you add anymore chlorine on the 2nd day? Did you even tested the water first?
No, they don't seem to know much about it.
❤
What type of “PHOSPHATE REMOVER” are you using?
How do you set the pool to 24/7? On a Pentair and other equipments? Do you have videos on this?
No but we’re happy to make one! The variable speed pumps need the schedule changed to 24/7 the single speed pumps you just remove the “off” pins off of the timer
@@PoolCareWorld any chance of creating a video of this? Also, before pouring chems into the pool, is it “ok” to use my cordless vacuum to suck up the leaves?
What’s the step by step process for dealing with green algae l?
Clean cartridge first then chems?
If the PH was high, shouldn’t you use muratic acid first (to lower the PH) then the chlorine? Or does it really not matter which order?
I think it's not much of a difference. The acidity frees up chlorine once they combine in the water. Just don't mix chlorine and acid directly or you'll be creating chlorine gas.
chlorine contains cyuranic acid in tab form and in some liquid varieties as well, which will lower the ph, so by adding the chlorine before you adjust the ph, you ensure an accurate reading.
Why only use 1/2 gallon of muratic acid into the pool? With the heavy amount of chlorine that your pouring into the pool, should t you use a full gallon of muratic acid to the pool or more? Pls explain. Thank you professor
Thank you for making this video!!
In Florida a home owner had let the pool go for two years.
I’ve dumped so much CL and shock in it. Got it to a blue color but the bottom was cake in debris. I couldn’t for the life of me get my portable waste vacuumed primed. For hours I’ve tried getting it primed and nothing. Any suggestions? Or a step by step how to prime it.
Keep adding chlorine it can flip fast with all that debris in it! Every time I can’t get it to prime it’s always one of these for me:the pump lid oring or the plugs on the bottom orings need cleaned or lubed or your hose connection has a airleak. Let me know what it was! Good luck!
@@PoolCareWorldwill do! It’s a brand new pump. A plug in 1hp off Amazon. Now that you mention the hose having an air leak, that could be it. I noticed water come out where the hose and white cap meet. I bought the hose brand new and thought that was normal lol
@@PoolCareWorldConnect your vacuum attachment and set it into the pool, put the whole hose into the water and fill it completely with water before connecting it to the pump. The hose needs to be full of water and placing it into the water is the way to fill it. Just hold onto the end you'll attach to the pump. Hold it under water until the air bubbles stop and it's full of water. This is the way you're supposed to do it.
No way man. I grew tired of vacuuming this way 20 years ago. I just bought a trash pump and converted it to a dredger with a custom vac head.so it just sucks out the leaves, algae and all. Turns a job like this to a 10 minute job.
I’m interested in what the dredger looks like that seems like a good idea always looking to optimize the process! Definitely spent many hours on this so 10 minutes seems nice lol
@@PoolCareWorld Well those trash pumps put out an upwards of 250+ gallons a minute plus they are 7+ horsepower compared to the one you had which is maybe around 1hp.
Do you have a picture of that mechanic vacuum? Or a video of it?
Can you show us?
@@anonymouscomment1772 sounds like he's just fabricating a story.
For your viewers like myself, you should take a picture or “pause frame” of the type of chemicals you are using. So we can purchase those products. Just a thought.
Thanks for the recommendation! Im working on putting together more in depth videos and copy for a patreon so I appreciate all the suggestions! I’m trying to find the balance between entertainment and informative for these videos so I don’t go super in depth in every video just trying to see what everyone wants to see 👍🏻
Did you have to use something to help clear up the water after the acid, chlorine, phosphate remover, brushing, and vacuuming. I have a Pentair cartridge filtration system with an Easy Touch automation and i don't believe i can vacuum to water, so I'll have to vacuum through the filter. How can I tell when the filter cartridges
need to be cleaned?
If you’re using the filter you’re going to have to monitor the suction if it looks anything like this Pool once clear it’s literally going to be need to be cleaned every other swipe so probably will have to clean the filter 20 times during the course of the vacuum. If you don’t want to go through that cut your pipe coming out of the pump into the filter and add a waste valve. Would you like me to make a video of this? Please subscribe!
@@PoolCareWorld yes that would be great
What chemicals are you using & brand? 3:13
What size is the pool? What brand of chlorine?
20,000 gallons not sure the chlorine brand just from local pool store
3 questions for you….
1)are you using algae brush on all the pools? Plaster and fiber glass pools.
2) why only 8oz of phosphate remover?
3) I understand the amounts of chlorine needed to burn off the ALGAE,but why dilute the muratic acid? Why not just use 1 gallon of acid ? Help me to understand why only 1 gallon of muratic acid and not 4-6 gallons of muratic acid?
Only use algae brush on plaster or pebble pools /rock features. It will ruin vinyl or fiberglass finishes as well as some tile so be careful
8 oz is the recommended dose for how expensive the chemical is I always measure it out
Anything over a quarter gallon of acid should be diluted acid is heavier than water and it will and can fall straight to the bottom and burn the finish diluting helps spread it out evenly. I also would never add more than a gallon diluted of acid at one time for this reason.
Wow, you’ve explained to me what my boss couldn’t explain to me. Learning so much from you. Also, do I need to buy“diluted acid” from a wholesale store or do o dilute it myself by pouring in 1/4 of acid into a cup (or something) and fill it with water?
10 gallons of chlorine should be enough to clean a septic system. Is the pool swimmable afeter all that.
It was all burned off in days
👍🏊♂️
is your waste pump not 240 volt?
120
I perfer replace fresh water
What type of pump is that?
Pentair Superflo 3/4 hp 👍🏻
@@PoolCareWorld did you customize that switch yourself ?
@@PoolCareWorld were do you get one
Built it! I’ll be making a video on how to make one soon!
