Pool Vacuuming Services

What Is Pool Vacuuming?

 

Pool vacuuming is a professional cleaning service that removes settled debris, dirt, sediment, algae, and organic matter from the bottom and corners of your pool using high-powered commercial vacuum equipment.

​

It’s essential for maintaining clear water and preventing algae growth.

​

 

 

Why Pool Vacuuming Matters

 

Debris on the pool floor may seem harmless, but once it settles, it begins to:

​

• Cloud the water

• Feed algae growth

• Raise chemical demand

• Stain surfaces

• Overload the filter

• Reduce circulation

• Cause irritation for swimmers

• Create uneven water clarity

• Strain pumps and equipment

 

As debris breaks down, it releases nutrients that algae thrives on — making professional vacuuming crucial for long-term water health.

​

 

 

When Your Pool Needs Professional Vacuuming

 

You should schedule vacuuming if you notice:

​

• Visible dirt or dust on the floor

• Sediment returning after brushing

• Cloudy or hazy water

• Algae patches or green areas

• Leaves collecting in corners

• Murky or uneven water clarity

• Fine particles that home vacuums miss

• High filter pressure after storms

• Reduced pump flow or suction

 

If the pool floor isn’t clean, the water above it won’t stay clear.

​

 

 

Our Professional Pool Vacuuming Process

 

AOK Pool Care uses commercial-grade vacuum systems that deliver deep, thorough cleaning — even in hard-to-reach areas.

​

 

 

1. Initial Inspection

 

We assess:

​

• Type and amount of debris

• Water clarity

• Circulation strength

• Filter performance

• Areas with heavy sediment buildup

• Visible algae growth

 

This helps us tailor the cleaning method for maximum results.

​

 

 

2. Surface Skimming & Preparation

 

We remove floating debris first to:

​

• Prevent sinking material

• Reduce system strain

• Improve vacuuming efficiency

 

This prepares the pool for a more complete cleaning.

​

 

 

3. Brushing Walls, Steps & Corners

 

Brushing loosens buildup so it can be removed properly. We scrub:

​

• Walls

• Steps

• Floors

• Ledges

• Corners

• Tile lines

 

This also helps prevent algae growth.

​

 

 

4. Professional Vacuuming of the Entire Pool

 

We use commercial pool vacuums to remove:

​

• Dirt

• Dust

• Fine sediment

• Algae deposits

• Organic debris

• Sand and grit

• Leaves

• Post-storm debris

 

These vacuums capture particles far smaller than what residential vacuums can remove.

​

 

 

5. Filter & Basket Cleaning

 

After vacuuming, we:

​

• Clean skimmer baskets

• Empty pump baskets

• Backwash or clean filters (as needed)

 

This ensures the filtration system doesn’t get overwhelmed by newly removed debris.

​

 

 

6. Water Chemistry Check

 

Vacuuming can stir up debris and alter chemical balance. We test and rebalance:

​

• Chlorine

• pH

• Alkalinity

• Stabilizer (CYA)

• Calcium hardness

 

This keeps water clear, sanitary, and safe.

​

 

 

Benefits of Professional Pool Vacuuming

 

Professional vacuuming delivers results that routine home cleaning cannot match:

​

• Significantly clearer water

• Reduced algae growth

• Better chemical efficiency

• Less stress on pumps and filters

• Cleaner and more attractive pool appearance

• Improved circulation

• Longer equipment lifespan

• Healthier swimming conditions

 

A clean floor is a major contributor to overall water clarity and swimmer comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 

How often should a pool be vacuumed?
Weekly for high-use pools, monthly for low-use pools, and immediately after storms.

​

Why does dirt return after brushing?
Because brushing loosens debris, but only vacuuming removes it from the pool.

​

Can vacuuming help stop algae?
Yes — removing debris cuts off algae’s food source.

​

Why is my pool still cloudy after vacuuming?
This often means the filter also needs cleaning or water chemistry is imbalanced.

​

Do commercial vacuums work better than home vacuums?
Yes — they have stronger suction and remove finer particles.
