Deep Pool Vacuuming Services

Beyond the Automatic Cleaner

While automatic pool cleaners (like the Kreepy Krauly or Zodiac) are great for daily maintenance, they are not perfect. They follow random patterns, often missing corners, steps, and the deep end. Over time, heavy debris, fine dust, and dead algae accumulate in these "dead zones," creating a dirty, uninviting pool floor.

Pacific Pools provides professional manual vacuuming to ensure every square inch of your pool's interior is spotless. Using commercial-grade vacuum heads and high-suction hoses connected directly to your filtration system, our technicians meticulously clean the entire floor, navigating around steps, benches, and tight corners where automatic cleaners simply cannot reach. This service is available throughout Pretoria East, including Faerie Glen, Moreleta Park, and Silverlakes.

The Vacuuming Process: Waste vs. Filter

Depending on the condition of the pool, we utilize two distinct vacuuming methods to achieve the best results:

• Vacuuming to Filter: For routine maintenance and light debris (like leaves and small twigs), we vacuum the debris directly into the pool's sand filter. Once the vacuuming is complete, we perform a thorough backwash and rinse cycle to flush the captured dirt out of the system.
• Vacuuming to Waste: When dealing with severe algae blooms (green pools), heavy mud from storm runoff, or fine dust that passes through the filter sand, we bypass the filter entirely. We set the multi-port valve to 'Waste,' vacuuming the sludge directly out of the pool and into the drainage system. This prevents the filter sand from becoming permanently clogged and removes the contaminants from the water entirely.

Addressing Dead Algae and Fine Dust

One of the most frustrating problems for pool owners is fine dust or dead algae (which looks like white/grey powder on the pool floor). When you try to brush it, it simply clouds up into the water, only to settle back on the floor hours later. Automatic cleaners often just stir it up.

To solve this, our technicians apply specialized flocculants or clarifiers that bind these microscopic particles together, forcing them to sink heavily to the floor. We then return the next day to perform a slow, precise manual vacuum to 'Waste,' permanently removing the dust from the pool and leaving the water brilliantly clear.
