The fact that the indoor pool was left alone SO LONG that it started growing and supporting an ecosystem of plants is wild.
Probably the customer just bought the house and the previous owner had left it for years
@@kutanra Bruh , who sells their house like that ? Isn't it better to make your house look pretty before selling it , so that you can crank up the price .

Well no, but I would probably wear some sort of industrial boots

@@exactzero where did u get that photo of me 🔫
And I am a pool shark.
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
You build pools, not clean them???
@@heartxache5844 that two different things
@@arc8218 that's what I mean he's saying he builds a book hen cleaning when there is a whole other profession for that.
@@heartxache5844 it doesn't need a rocket scientist to realize how disgusting it is to just treat the water with a ton of mosquitoes living in it with chemicals without emptying the water. I get it if the water is only a little muddy then sure. But the entire thing is literally filled with mosquito and dirt. For sure they wouldn't mind drinking some of that mosquito flavored water when they go dive in.
Y don't you just drain the water after using them if you'll just drain them later on to clean the pool?
6:12
"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.
Yeah, who would even prefer that? Disgusting.
They really thought they did something there 😂 now they can enjoy some good old mosquitos flavored water
Yeah but just take into consideration the extra cost for removing the water cleaning the pool and then the water back again... depending on where you are/live must be thousands of dollars for a summer maybe? idk how often do you call the pool guy.
@@cristeto96 Having water delivered isn’t as expensive as one might think. Empty milk trucks deliver it on their run back to make extra money in many places. $300-$900.
@@scubafrogger wooow even $900 sounds pretty cheap
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. :)
they should have drain the pool, call an airstrike and just build a new house with a pool somewhere else because my lord, would i not ever swim in this soup ever, even after cleaning and processing.
He broke the Sol
Yup its a major portion of the drinking water supply system as well to remove large particulate.
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.
Does that have something to do with crop rotation? I'm curious to know
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.
Thank you Patrick, that was really interesting 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
He does make sure the granules are mixed in the water. I seen it in some other videos. He basically uses one of his underwater broom things and gives it a big push. You see it dissolving immediately.
Probably even easier and faster than dissolving it in a bucket first to be really honest with you
I thoroughly enjoyed that explanation Patrick
When I clean the pools, wether it's pebble tec finished surface or white plaster I pump the water out, pressure wash the interior washing all the algea off the walls and floors. Then the last step I do is wash the pool with chlorine and brush it down killing all algea and mold that builds up. Sometimes I also do a Muriatic acid wash to clean dirt or calcium build up.
cap
One customer requested the pool to be cleaned without emptying it !!!!?????
Yea, that's a little weird. I think if my water was used as a mosquito farm, I'd much rather it be totally emptied, cleaned, and refilled with fresh water. I know he ended up with clean water his way, but still... it's a psychological thing lol
@@Strahan740i Yea, and for us in the western world water is cheap as heck, it maybe cost like 200 bucks to get new water.
@@foty8679 he ain't cleaning pools in 3rd world countries tho

I always wondered why people buy houses with pools but don’t do the work to maintain it. It’s really not that hard
I'm sure many of these are houses that have been sold. Usually I don't maintain my pool during the winter, it's too expensive. I just cover it up and wait for the Spring
Because they're white.
Not necessarily due to the owners’ negligence, sometimes it’s just pools in houses or complexes that haven’t been owned by anyone so there’s nobody to take care of them
Have you ever maintained a pool for 6 years
@@LawrenceGill27 Those people did not cover up their pool. If the pool was covered up, it would not look like that.
I’m glad they saved the frogs! Hopefully all of em at least

You would be fine
I really loved how those plants were growing, it was like a pond
I actually watch this guy, and he's amazing at what he does, SO SATISFYING.
Holler your boy for the pool work👍🏼
I feel like he could hide a dead body and get away with it
4:21 Frogs were very cooperative.
that sound of the salt going into the pool is very satisfiying 5:40
The way he removes the plants
*its so amazing*
yeah he scrapes it with a metal shovel. amazing.
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 :)
1:13 so were not gonna talk about how hes wearing the cleanest white shoes ever in that nasty pool?
Honestly like at least wear some boots 😭
@@bijougirl at least shoes that aren’t pure white 😭😭
omg poolguy once again is getting the recognition he deserves
0:40
“Plants started growing inside of it which isn’t typical for an indoor pool”
Well I just don’t believe this
Yeah i was wondering too what kind of plants and how?
Not sure what plants. But it looked like an indoor pool, after a while indoor public pools get closed down and neglected. That can cause algae growth and sometimes it can in fact leas to plant growth. Crazy huh?
Just go to the pool guys channel it's far more satisfying. This channel is like watching trailers to a movie and having someone explain them to you.
4:45 BRO THAT LOOKS LIKE CEMENT
Grew up helping my dad clean pools bc he was a pool man, when I was old enough and knowledgable enough he would drop me off at pools like this (not as bad but close) and id spend the day cleaning it up.
You think its satisfying watching it?! Try doing it, still one of the most satisfying things ive ever done. Not only is it satisfying to watch the power washer/brush remove the algae, but once youre done and refill to see a bright blue, sparkly clean swimming pool, the feeling of accomplishment is unreal.
I legitimately miss it and wish I would have pursued the business more. Only thing that sucks is the smell can be atrocious at times😂
Why is one of them wearing white shoes and shorts while standing in the dirty pool? 1:09
2:36 me on literally any game

i don't know why, but this type of video watch so satisfying
This videos explanation of each pool cleaning segment reminds me of trying to write my uni essay when I have a max word count of only 1000, super detailed at the start then toward the end it’s simplistic and small
0:06 *FROG*
Job well done for the pool guy!
Its soooo satisfying!!!!!
Further to my other comments, I would add, water chemistry is a whole item within itself. Water seems innocuous enough but unfortunately its far more complicated than that. For a start, water dissolves everything into itself, so the initial picture of clear water holds within it a host of swimming pool problems. The very first for the professional is which chemicals are within the water, so full tests will show that and the necessary chemicals remedies before any disinfectant(chlorine) is added. Its always best, to seek the help of professionals before doing it yourself!
This is so comforting to watch 🤽♀️
For a minute I thought all the frogs were dead, and I felt sorry for them, until I watched further and realized they were still alive.
In Minnesota, Wisconsin, etc, you only have a pool if you have plenty of money. You only use it some of the year(hot tub not included) as it gets too cold. Where as in Florida, plenty more of people have a pool because it rarely gets below idk, 6_ - 4_.
1:14 NOOOO NOOOOOOOO
THEY HAD WHITE SHOES 😭 NOOOOOO
NOOOOOOOOOOOO
This man is so good, may god be with you😇
If the water originally had chlorine in it, does that somehow dissipate from the water or something? Since stuff starts growing in it after a while
@moar cowbell Cool, thanks for a great and full answer. Have a good day!
Also when you go to a pool especialy indoor ones and you get that huge nose scalding smell of chlorine that's not cause the pool is over chlorinated. That's the smell of the chlorine reacting with all of the filth people have on their bodies when they go into the pool. Hence why your supposed to rinse off before you go into a pool.
Which is why pubic school pools always have that strong smell. Pretty much the strongest I've ever smelt in a pool. Lots of bodies in the pool at a time and you know there's at least one pool piss per class.
Is it just me or did the third one look like a plain pool like there was glass at the bottom of a pool in the air 3:47
Thank you for this, I have a cold and my really sick and this made me feel like you were cleaning all of the virus for some reason, ik it sounds weird lol, but thank you I really feel alittle bit better with you cleaning out this pool, im sure the owners were the happy as they could ❤🎉😊
3:20
I want to take that yellow stuff and put it in to a mustard bottle, than replace a mustard bottle with the new bottle and watch the chaos unfold.
I just watch these to fall asleep because they are sooooooo Satisfying!
I appreciate their hard work and patience to clean these pools.
For some reason I find these videos very calming!
My grandma thinks if someone can clean dishes in 10 minutes that they can deep clean a entire pool with only a sponge soap and water😂
(↑ω↑), lol
" These are chlorine tablets "
Me : Wow marshmellow
*GIANT* *BREATHE* *MINTS*
They really do look like marshmellos
Marshmallow, not marshmellow.
I literally thought they were marshmallows too lmao
i love this guy
Thank u for your videos!
This would be so helpful for my family’s outside pool , it is such a mess I can’t even describe it , green water , much everywhere, and there is most definitely some plants in there.
rip to the couple of frogs who probably didnt make it out
Wow that’s clean
Very satisfying to watch!
He’s like me fr, I own a pool company and man it’s so satisfying watching the pool go from green to blue
I love how he led the frog into the bushes 😢
Why is this so satisfying???
I love pools. I used to have pools before and I can still enjoy one if I buy one, but much bigger and better.
Does anyone else think it’s super satisfying when he scrapes off the algae?
0:28 man wore white shoes- :/
Great video, very satisfying pool cleaning. I just wanted to point something out. Most of the drains in those pools are way outdated. They are flat and small which is a huge entrapment hazard. Also, there should be two drains.
It's so satisfyinging watching him clean them
holler ya boy for the pool work!
2:25 i thought there was suddenly a slime break lol

Absolute legend. Nice one
“He hoses off all this,
And gives it a good rinse
This only takes about 15 minutes.”
I love the unprepared rhyming. ✨
Poor guys. What a tough job that must be.
My step dad does it, I've gone with him it's actually not crazy hard. But ya know this is like a lot more than usual
Not really
It’s what I do - it’s not bad at all lol. These pools are just in horrible condition.
A highly paid one! And a satisfying one
It’s tough when the pools aren’t maintained. My dad does this and I help him during the summer and it’s not too hard since the pools are cleaned regularly. But this video definitely shows the reality of what happens when pools aren’t maintained. Some people were confused when my dad continued to work during covid. He couldn’t let the pools sit there. Plus no one was using the pools in March so no worries of covid haha.
2:07 cuts to a completely different pool
oh, they use like 5 different pools for the story of one
I've got an outdoor pool that hasn't been used in more or less 9 years, there's multiple dead animals, a lot of frogs/toads, and algae galore, it would probably take a week to clean out, I dont want to hurt the frogs so that would be another challenge, but at this point its known as "our backyard pond,"
0:57 THE WHITE SHOES
It’s probably just me but I find it sooo satisfying
I find it satisfying too!
I also find it very satisfying
"Holla to your boy for the pool work!"
This is satisfying to watch.
1:16 I respect that guy for wearing white shoes with this job.
Pools like those make the teenage mutant ninja turtles look like they're based on real stories
...chlorine tablets look like they would just have the best feeling when biting into one. God, I wish chlorine wasn't toxic.
2:25 also looks delicious. why do cleaning supplies look so good? I'm 27 I should not have this strong of a desire to eat cleaning supplies.
Yeah, they look like polvoron for me, it's a sweet powder delicacy.
this is so satisfying!!
my jaw drops when i see the before and after every time

Why would you not want to empty the pool. It makes no sense. Swimming in the same waters that was once infested with mosquitoes??? I don’t want to hear “water is expensive to fill up” because when they bought the house they took responsibility to take care of the pool even if it had to be emptied.
Oh this is SO satisfying!!!
Oh my god I know all the comments are saying you can’t empty it but if it was my pool it would be drained cleaned and filled up with new water even if it’s from my tap and it takes a couple days to fill up I’d still do that instead of contaminated water
Remember, if he’s working as a pool cleaner in the uk, then the owners of those pools are VERY wealthy. Likely it’s oligarchs who abandon their homes- they’re just owned as property investment.
This is nice and really relaxing. It was gross but I’m glad it’s all better in the end.
Wow this is satisfying and very productive
