How it goes
Two days, start to swim.
We drain to your home’s sewer cleanout, which is what Valley cities ask for, never into the street.
- 01
Drain
A submersible pump empties the pool to your sewer cleanout. About 8 to 12 hours.
- 02
Acid wash (if you chose it)
We wash the plaster with a diluted acid, rinse, neutralize and pump out the rinse water.
- 03
Inspect
With the pool empty we check lights, returns and plaster, and send photos.
- 04
Refill
Fresh water goes in through a hose filter. About 12 to 24 hours.
0 ppm TDS start - 05
Startup chemistry
We balance the new water over the first week so the plaster stays protected.
