Swamp or swimming pool?? 

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

I think this pool is somewhere in Britain. They probably don't have a problem with mosquitoes or anything like that.

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.

@@cha-ka8671 sou brasileira e concordo com vc!

@@ellysantana5086 Tu concorda que o Brasil é um pais socialista e que a dengue é um problema inventado pelos político pra servir de chamariz???

He just said the home has new owners..

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

The garden doesn't even look that bad? Just looks like a country garden to me. Not everyone likes a mowed lawn, some people like wildflowers.

what exactly were you expecting from an average residential garden? this isnt the chelsea flower show...

@@JG-nx3jg "average residential garden" Alright... :)

I know

Came to the comment section to find out what happened to the critters

I’m doubtful there was a “relocation” program, feels more like they got sucked up with all the other muck.

@@sarsonsueHere in the UK, Newts are protected under Wildlife Act of 1981. In that if found in areas that are not safe for them, they have to be re homed, the many local wildlife trusts that we have around the country are always willing to assist.

Yeah I think they met their demise.

I think it's because it looks pretty old, so it gives "swampish" vibes even when it's clean.

This pool is probably 50 yrs old and didn't have much cleaning done to it. Also, I think the owners didn't want to pay for a paintjob as this pool desperately needs.

@@JoeDirtDang i agree. 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! Lol so, this clean up, refill, start up chemicals all and all. I don't know their location and pricing for their service but I'd say around $2k minimum! (Clean up, fill up, start up chemicals)

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

Y would they put water in it before cleaning up around it I agree it basically looks the same

I think that as well

They need a better power washer a petrol would be much better and would off removed that chemical free

I was getting angry watching it because of this

Agreed

Maybe just better accessories for it? Our one has a pavement cleaner attachment would have been much quicker on the bottom of the pool

Well they use acid to kill everything in the pool

I was looking for this comment

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!

Gasoline powered pressure washer, more PSI and much better, used in combination with a steam cleaner, again, not some little bitty 110 volt residential toy.

@@Jzzonem and get rid of the rotating nozzle, that's why there is all strips. Concentrated high throughput nozzle for this job. I used to clean floors and I found that to be the best. I added 2 little castors and it was great.

You did hear they just moved in right?😃

@@NOONE-cd4gu But still i agree.

Totally agree! I would have defo done the weeds and patio areas first

@@sparkmeister4706 and when people move in to a new house they have shit ton to do and clean and tidy up and set up that the last thing they think off is doing the yard work

@@NOONE-cd4gu then why aren't they waiting for the yard work is done and THEN getting the pool cleaned? if they have so much to do before yard work or whatever why rushing to clean the pool?

That's prob an alligator

It’s a newt

You have to in the UK, if anyone sees you killing newts you're in for a bad day

@@mrcaboosevg6089 I Wouldn't Want To Kill Such Cool Animals.

Thrown in next’s door pool

Just out of curiosity but how many newt’s did you get ?😊

Just needs somebody to come in and jet wash it properly and it'll be fine.

@@streaky81 but it was? Sure they probably should have gone over a few more times but it looked pretty good

Can you retile a pool if like the tiles are way gone and like changing the tiles may bring a good look ?

It looks like a lagoon when it's full of water its beautiful and blue

@@streaky81 I think it needed something like a paint job

Technically it ain't a big deal unless you're delicate for no reason. People swim in beaches, lakes, rivers, etc.. I'm pretty sure this is fine lol

@@ayofrtho7014 I was just saying what Id have done if it was my pool. so far 72 people agree...

If I were the owner, I would probably paint the pool in white after the cleaning!

I guess this guy would never swim in a lake

@Adarkershadeofrainbow yessir

I've wondered this as well.

You pretty much have to have structural damage to the pool itself to get to that point dirty pools like this are cheap to clean compared to a reinstall of a new pool basin plumbing etc

Y'all, it's that bad???? I haven't made it to the end before reading the comments! 😭😭

If the concrete and structure is sound, then it can be cleaned, pretty much.

@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

Are those Axotls?

@@Sjaakie_K no they're newts

haven’t watched tge entire video yet but perhaps the previous owners sold it as it is because they’re already short on money.

@@pichuu7036 Possibly. And hopefully they can come to understand how that affects the new owners.

@@ButacuPpucatuB The previous owners would just get a lower asking price for the house... it's not like that wouldn't be factored in

@@andrewb1543 I’m not talking about a lower price. But let’s say I sell you shoes, used, and the previous owner had a gnarly foot fungus. Can you see where I’m coming from? It’s just common courtesy to provide usable premises.

@@onebridge7231 I’m so sorry to have offended you at such a serious level. Please forgive me. I’m not sure what this has to do with the US. But they must have a bad housing situation. Again, my apologies.

If you look at 7:15, there is a slope. It’s uneven. Probably couldn’t get it leveled due to piping. It was most likely installed after the house was built.

Dead meet pool😂

I think its pretty awesome actually.

Exactly. I hate it

Yes and i think his jet washer is not powerful enough for some of these stains

It’s up to the customer mate and what they want to pay for.

1. Not his department 2. Yard workers exist 3. The owners just moved in 4. Its up to the customers whether they'd want that or not 5. Bush trimming requires more a.d quite different equipment

This annoys me that they don’t do this and only clean the small area beside the pool, but I’m assuming they aren’t paid to do the rest, it drives my OCD crazy!!! Why not clean the lot before the pool Is refilled now someone else will clean it and the crap wil go into the clean pool! 😂😂

Yeah that's the thing that annoys me about this one. By all means clear the pool out, but get someone in to tidy up the edges first with a high power pressure washer and even weed killer the growth first. 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. Oh and get rid of all the old poolside equipment, most of it is plastic so it won't have aged well in the sun. At least that way you won't have so much muck still in the pool when you fill it again.

Honestly, before the pool is done and the plumbing and filters are checked the pool could be ruined and have to be ripped out or majorly reworked. Clearing some sand and weeds from the pool after cleaning the surroundings later might be better then making everything nice and finding out the pool is toast.

You do realize that (for most parts) of the UK that is pretty much the standard residential garden that just needs a weedwacker taken to it and a bit of a mow?

I can't quite decide if it's marbelite coating - if that's the case, they don't recommend painting it.

Doesn't look like marblelite to me but I still would resurface with tile.

Wouldn’t an epoxy based paint be sufficient?

I was thinking the same thing a higher psi would make things so much easier I’m sure they gotta be careful around the tiles but you can just change the nozzle at that point to work around that

DAs aLOt OF BraiN POWeR

They need more gpm not psi

They don't like to work smart!

Quite a waste of time using an inadequate pressure ! They could have done a decent cleaning with a substantial machine (which have an array of tips for different pressure tasks) Spray bleach from a garden pressure when the gross deposits are removed. Let the bleach sit for 15/20 minutes and go back with pressure washer again and you’ll have a dramatic change. Use a good mask & eye protection when spraying bleach

We had tadpoles in our pool this spring, because the cover partially blew off. My boys went out and scooped out every one :)

@@amylouky awww that's nice, sounds like something I would do.

Thats the exact thought I had! I was really hoping they would of took all the little creatures out before any of the cleaning 😢

@@BreezyDee2 *would have

@@BreezyDee2 it looks like they were plucking out newts and putting them in a white bucket

to wash holes into the old concrete?

Yeah definitely, was thinking the same, like an 8hp 4000 or more psi petrol one. Would get the job done much quicker

no just needed better technique

Yeah its definitely a bit of a weak one. Although maybe he doesnt want to damage the pool

If the pool can be damaged by a more powerful pressure washer, then it’s got more problems than being dirty.

Me too - I imagine it would be awesome compost for the rest of the garden?

He eats it

*would

At least for the slide they probably cleaned it with a brush at some point, if you pressure wash plastics like that it takes the smooth layer off the top and makes it really nasty and scratchy, would be really bad for a slide to be scratchy

It would probably screw up the grout and pool tiling

@@masonbeck542 More than it already is, you mean? Lol

you would contract ancient diseases lmao

The newt seemed to like it 😂

Lol. He’d have to clean pools in Florida. They have wildlife rescue on speed dial down there.

Hope he comes up with selling them I would buy one!

@@louiZiana-Gurl Yes great slogan! If you wore the T-shirt...most people would have no idea what it meant haha!

He likely relocated the lizard type creatures

To the toilet 😂

Newt are also a protected species

She turned me into a newt…I got better

Only my brother calls me Rebecca, my name is Newt!

Felt the same, but you do see them appear to pick up a Newt and move it. Also they shovel up the bulkier algae which is then placed on the side, so there would be a chance of survival there too. They didn't talk about the Newts at all.

They did say they would take all the newts and rescue them and find another home.

Dang that was a lizard?

@@friknobbg4741 nah it was a newt. You don't really get lizards in residential areas in the uk.

I can't help thinking... She turned me into a newt! A newt?! ... I got better.
