surround only
is  it a membrane or tiled
clean only or chemical change
pump house

my sister runs a pool maintence co in florida
she had to do qualifications inc exams theory and practicles and assesments and its continual will all the new technology thats appearing

it is quite a specialist field

she does most of hers on a contract basis
they do a lot of pressure washing and charge on a m2 rate $3-75 its about £2-50

again be careful as i think they steam a lot of surfaces

I did one recently as part of a blood spill job. A lad had kicked a football which hit a window, glass hit a girl causing the blood spill and also went into the pool. They drained the pool which was 20m x 10m, tiled. I cleaned the blood with 429,vacuumed the pool (BS36) to remove the glass, then hot washed it with the fsc. £580 - took a day

The pool looks like a cest pit!
It has 3 foot of stale water and the sides which are membrane and covered in limescale.
So i have to empty it which isn't a problem but the limescale needs some serious chemical.
So how much and what chemicals?

Hi Alan
I have a diesel water pump = 950 litre a min - for emptying, let me know if you need it.
Limescale remover should do it or try a swimming pool supplier for the right stuff.
I have a pool at my place in Bulgaria, and we used to apply a limescale remover which we bought from the company that fit the pool.
The small tiles are fit on to a mat and then stuck onto the walls, they can come loose easily by pressure washing.
