Pool drained and cleaned!

Livermore, CA
Our pool was in desperate need of a drain and clean. The CYA levels were beyond deluding, and we hadn't replaced our water in 7 years (thanks, California drought). Not to mention the algae was out of control and the pool became a breeding ground for mosquitos. My husband didn't want to pay a company to do it for us, so we blocked off a weekend and did it ourselves. I'm proud of the results!

-Drained with a subpump
-Scrubbed surface with nylon deck brushes and rinsed
-Chlorine wash and rinse
-Refill

2 days to drain
3 hours to clean
20 hours to fill
