Mountain View 14 Report post Posted February 19, 2007 I may be getting some concrete work around swimming pools thrown my way soon. I've never cleaned around a pool before. What technique to you guys use to prevent water from getting into the pool? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Barry M 73 Report post Posted February 19, 2007 The concrete should be sloped away from the pool slightly anyway at least around here they are. Basically you just work the surface cleaner and then rinse from the pool edge out. Even if your careful you'll still get some dirty waste water into the pool, nothing the filters can't clean out and if your using Chlorine to clean that obviously isn't going to hurt anything. I'm usually just honestly with the homeowner and they are understanding in giving the pool a day to clean itself out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oxalic to brighten - and I always advise the customer that, in addition to some debris in the water, I may upset the pool's ph. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
