Cleaning the pool with the high pressure cleaner: all the advantages

With the arrival of summer, it is finally possible to take full advantage of gardens, patios, verandas and courtyards. Barbecues and outdoor games become part of everyday life and for those who own a

swimming pool, every day is the right opportunity for a cool bath or a swim.

After so many months of inactivity during the winter period, it is normal to find the pool in very bad condition, with dirt, scale, insects, foliage and guano. A deep cleaning becomes a necessary action to be able to make the most of your pool, in a clean and safe environment. To do this, you can choose to rely on a maintenance service, or, for those who want to take care of the cleaning of their pool independently, there is only one solution: choosing a high pressure cleaner. Thanks to this tool, it will be possible to thoroughly clean the pool, saving money and obtaining an excellent result.

Cleaning the pool with the high pressure cleaner: where to start

With the use of a high pressure cleaner it is very easy to transform a dirty pool into a place of relaxation and fun. These solutions, complete and with a wealth of accessories, act on all types of stains and fouling, taking advantage of a winning mix of pressure, flow rate, right supply of accessories and detergent (where necessary).

If after several months of inactivity your pool is strewn with leaves, soil, moss, mould, foliage, insects and organic debris, no need to worry: using your high pressure cleaner you can make your pool sparkling clean and safe once again. To do this, it is important to follow some simple steps:

• Drain the pool. If you have not done this during the winter, it is time to remove all the water from the pool and let it dry well. In this way, it will be possible to act even on the most resistant fouling;
• Cover any electrical parts, such as pumps, motors and heating systems, thus avoiding causing damage to them;
• If necessary, divide the pool into sections, monitoring the cleaning step by step and avoiding neglecting stains and debris;
• Apply the adjustable foam wand to your high pressure cleaner and use it by spraying from top to bottom. Let the applied detergent act for 5-10 minutes, wetting it continuously with a low-pressure jet. In this way, you will prevent it from drying quickly or dispersing on the surface;
• Then apply the lance and rinse the detergent while continuing to use a movement from top to bottom.
• That’s all there is to it! The area will then be perfectly clean. You can move on to cleaning another surface of your pool, such as the bottom of the pool, by repeating the same actions.

Remove algae from the pool

For those who own a swimming pool, another important problem that can recur periodically is the presence of algae. These are formed mainly in areas such as filter nozzles and ladders, causing significant damage, from the proliferation of bacteria and the obstruction of pipelines.

Algae removal also becomes a quick and easy process when done using a high pressure cleaner. The jet of water under pressure is able to remove them completely, acting even on the most difficult points. In addition, it is possible to combine the use of an algaecide with the jet or, alternatively, by brushing on the area a mix consisting of 4/5 of water and 1/5 of bleach. Allow the substance to act for about 10 minutes and it will then be possible to remove it using a low-pressure jet.
