I can't believe i did this
I only had two small jobs today and on the last one I had an add on service. I cleaned two rooms for a customer that was just moving into her new home. After the cleaning we go to talking about the pool and how green it was. It looked more like a pond than a pool.
I owned a couple of pools so I know how to clean them. I gave her some instructions and she asked if I could just do it for her. So on my last job of the day I was a pool cleaner.
I think a seed was planted in my brain on the way to the job. I saw a car with signage that read Pick Up Poo. I was tempted to call the number because I have bunch of dog poo to pick up under my deck.
The pump wasn't priming so I got that going. I went clear the skimmer basket and a frog jumped out of it . I had her go to the store for some pool supplies. I shocked the hell out of it with some liquid chlorine and left the pump running. Go back tomorrow to finish the job.
What did I get myself into? This after I skimmed it

Looking at the green pond, I thought you were going to say you sucked the water out of it.

Re: I can't believe i did this
Now your thinking like a carpet cleaner. I bet I could have drained that pool twice as fast with the pump motor and TM working together.
Re: I can't believe i did this
do pools in your area have connections to sewer?
or do you just pump all the water out into the yard somewhere?
we dont have many pools here but it would be awsome, its been a heat wave here for weeks

Re: I can't believe i did this
I don't believe pools are connected to sewers at all.If you need to drain it just connect to a sewer clean out. In my neighborhood I could drain on the ground
