Wow, the ivy was intentional… love clearing a messy clump of ivy away and finding a tiny little pot underneath 😂 interesting pool, it looks so much better now! Great work guys!
Truly beautiful work you’re putting in! I love how the algae, grit, grot, and grime sloughs off easily with the pressure washer. I’m quite excited to see part two where the customer can think of and execute a full revamp 🙌🏽🏊🏼♀️👙🩳🩱🩲🤿 Also, the music is excellent!!!!
Absolutely marvelous! It always astounds me to see how a good team of people can get together and turn a dirty mess into a really nice finished product
I've been following you guys for years! While this is bad, nothing tops the pool that had trees growing in it. Awesome job, this was so satisfying to watch! 💯💯💯
I've never seen a pool cover look like an air raid shelter before. That's fascinating! And boy is it sludgy and icky during the drain. Removing that dome sure made a huge difference! Looks great!
Incepredible. I t,bought painting the walls in white would make the pool look dull, but I forgot that the water looks bluish by itself. It really looks fantastic.👍👍
Quite a huge pool. The surrounding paving definitely is begging for a renovation; also a bit of a safety /trip hazard. The surrounding garden looks well looked after so hopefully the owners will sign up to have you maintain this lovely pool on an ongoing basis so that it doesn't get filthy again.
Great job mate, one recommendation from across the pond... I've been working pools most of my 67 years, next time you have that much algae, use a few gallons of bleach. Kills the algae over night, and doesn't smell so badly then dirty water. The plus side is also the bleach gets in the nook's of the concrete, and easier job for the pressure washer. Again, great job, video, and all around a ten on the scale of work.
@@tracycook7355 not when you are cleaning the entire pool empty. Years ago, here across the pond..we had something called mustard mold. I had to empty many pools, and spray bleach on the walls, sides, and into the pipes to get rid of it. Never put bleach in a pool that is getting fresh water put back in. Just kill the bacteria whilst it's empty.
Hey guys I saw that you needed to use the vacuum cleaner to take out the rest water and dirt. Our fire department here in Germany uses a tool called „Wasserschlucker“. This tool could save you a lot of time.
Nice one! With regard to filling can you not buy tanker deliveries of water like they do in the states ? But knowing this country would it be cost effective?
It's so satisfying watching your videos I had my 1st hottub job last week you make it look so easy It's hard work keeping my pool clean but it's tiny compared to the pools you do mine is only 18x9x4ft above ground 😂
Hiya mate, I'm a pool maintenance engineer from the South East UK. I've been working with pools and hot tubs for around 2 and a half years now. If ya need any advice, I'm happy to answer some questions. Shouldn't be too difficult to upkeep a small pool, so theres a possibility that I might know some way of helping to make your job easier. Is your pool an Intex pool by any chance? From experience, those are a bit fiddly to look after due to proprietary hardware that doesn't work well with the standard equipment we use in the UK. I have found a few work arounds to make looking after those pools slightly easier, but it really depends on multiple different factors.
@@TheMono25 think I’ve found one online, I’m assuming that’s a cartridge filter / pump combination? The suction fitting on the wall of the liner may be a tad interesting. If it’s one where you can unscrew the suction grille to have a clear pipe straight through to the pump, you might be able to attach a standard pool vacuum hose to that suction fitting. If that does work, you can vacuum your pool floor, which will remove any dust that may have settled down there. A cartridge filter / pump combo won’t deal with leaves very well, unfortunately. It will probably clog up quite quickly if you have a lot of leaves on the floor. The cheap way to get around that would be to net out any larger stuff and vacuum out the smaller stuff. If you’re in a situation where you could afford to upgrade your filtration, I would recommend looking into a standalone pump / sand filter. Not 100% sure, but intex pumps may fit the pipework for your existing setup. A standalone pump will have a pump basket before the impeller, this can catch leaves and larger debris so it doesn’t clog anything up. A sand filter will require less frequent cleaning, and all you need to do is turn a handle on a multi-port valve to backwash instead of taking out a cartridge filter. Please do your own research based on what I’ve recommended, as I obviously cannot guarantee that everything I’ve said today will work. I don’t have your pool, and I don’t work often with the equipment you have. My recommendations are based purely on speculation from what I can see about your setup online. I’ll be happy to answer some more question for ya if needs be
That pool looks AMAZING love the cover over it and the ivy growing over the cover, it would ve amazing to swim in there at night (yer i admit im odd lol)
See the water that lies stagnant in there, would that contain legionella or do yous put chemicals in first before it gets pumped out..? Just asking out of curiosity, if i see water lying somewhere for a few weeks i automatically think legionella lol
As long as you don't do anything to make an aerosol spray with the water, the chance of catching anything from it, especially legionella, is so improbable that it's not even worth thinking about.
He said the customer was going to have a full restoration next year, but given the horrendous summer we have had in the UK they might put the dome back 😂
When you're pumping the pool out why not use a pool brush and srir the sludge up so it is sucked up by the sump pumps? There didnt seem to be any leaves etc to block the pumps up.
this channel is proof that if you find a gap in the market you can fill it, anyone remember pool youtubers before this guy? me neither almost 3M is crazy
id love to see you guys paint a pool red at some point. I know its not everyone's cup of tea (pardon the expression) it looks amazing once filled with water; pool of blood.
The lads did try to find someone to find a use for that dome on their social media, but no one ended up getting it in a reasonable time, so they just cut it up. Customer obviously didn't want it laying around lol
@Shaynewarner1 Time was of the essence, I was picturing a water blasting and turn it into a seedling greenhouse. But I'm half a globe away, bit pricey on the post 📫 😏
What a difference. Good job. Q. Would it not have been easier for the homeowner to get tankers of water from the local water utility. Especially if they are on a meter.
It may be more unique, but overall it wouldn't be as pleasant to use with that dome. It severely limited movement around the pool, and it made the pool very dark and dingy. At the end of the day, if you're going to be swimming in a pool, it doesn't really matter if it's raining. You're already wet lol. In my personal opinion, getting rid of that old dome makes more sense than keeping it. The vast majority of clients that I've seen with pool enclosures have clear acrylic panels to allow sunlight through to the pool to keep it bright. The enclosures are also either significantly larger and allow for free movement around all 4 sides of the pool, or are mounted on rails and can be rolled out of the way when they want to use the pool. A fixed fibreglass enclosure, like the one shown in the video, which isn't allowing much light in and is impacting access to a significant amount of the pool, is not really fit for purpose for most people. There may be a specific situation where it's useful, but overall there are better solutions out there if you want a pool enclosure.
@@tonipeters4543 That is a possibility, however it sounded like they said it was bolted down. The domes that I have encountered that slide back are mounted on rails and fit nice and snug into one and other. They roll backwards and sit right off the end of the pool so they dont cause any obstruction to using the pool.
@@Shaynewarner1 It is a combination. They stack neatly over each other, but they are meant as a semi-permanent cover for the winter season, and not to be installed and removed daily.
I can assure you, there are tonne of other pools with far nicer enclosures than that out there. I have been to plenty of clients who have enclosures that have clear acrylic panels that allow sunlight through to the pool. Said enclosures are generally also a lot larger so you can walk around the pool inside the enclosure, or the enclosure is mounted on rails and can be slid off of the pool to allow free access when it is being used. The fibreglass enclosure in this video seems like it was very old, and it caused a significant obstruction to using the pool. Overall I'd say it benefits the pool overall to have that enclosure removed.
