Green to Clean Process

Recommended chemicals/equipment on truck:

  • Pr-10,000, Clearex 500, Granular-90, Yellow Trine, Biodex Chlorine Inhibitor, Porto-vac, Pentair Leaf Canister. (Channel Locks, ratchet for filter breakdown, Screw drivers, rubber mallet, crescent wrench.)

Upon arriving
1. Take photo of pool and equipment.
2. Verify no repairs are needed.
3. Inspect for Black Algae (requires drain and acid wash if present)
4. Inspect for filter blow back, take apart filter if it’s a cartridge to verify cartridge damage.
5. Determine pool size.
6. Rake the bottom with net to determine debris amount.
7. Check CYA and Calcium levels.

  • CYA above 100 requires drain, CYA below 50 requires stabilizer.
  • Calcium Levels above 400 require drain, Calcium below 200 requires Calcium.

Note: if you can’t see past the second step recommend drain.

Day one: (If above criteria has been met)
1. Remove debris from surface, baskets, brush walls.
2. Clean the filter (install grids/cartridges as needed)
3. Balance chemicals – Alk, Cya, Calcium.
4. Increase Chlorine to 30ppm.
5. Add muriatic acid to decrease pH to 7.2
6. Add Pr-10,000 to kill phosphates.
7. Set pool to run 24 Hours.

Note: always ensure valves are in optimal positions before leaving and pool is in service mode. Inform customer.

Day two – three
1. Backwash filter if applicable. (clean filter if is cartridge)
2. Turn pool off and empty pump basket. (leave the pool off)
3. Porto vac debris off bottom of the pool and empty all baskets. (add water to pool during process)
4. Perform remaining full service cleaning.
5. Balance chemicals to normal levels. Use inhibitor to lower chlorine as needed.
6. Perform Granular 90/Yellow trine treatment at this point if needed as it will not affect balancing chemicals back to normal levels.
7. Add Clearex 500 floc to drop remaining particles to floor of the pool.
8. Set pool to run 24 hours.

Final Clean:
1. Perform filter clean.
2. Empty all baskets
3. Turn pool off and porto vac pool (add water to pool during process)
4. Perform remaining full service clean.
5. Balance chemicals to normal levels. Use inhibitor to lower chlorine as needed.
6. Take photo of pool.

Note: Ensure valves are in optimal positions before leaving. Ensure pool is in auto mode set to appropriate run times, 10-12 hours per day during the summer.
