POWER VAC POOL SERVICE • ,
Power Vac Pool Service in ,
When your pool is green, cloudy, or loaded with debris, Empire Pools’ Power Vac service gives you a fast reset.
In , that usually means heavy leaf load after wind and rain, fine silt that settles into corners,
and “dead spots” that keep re-clouding even after you shock — especially after
, , and .
We’re in and out of neighborhoods off , , and ,
so we know what pools here look like after storm cycles and heat spikes. We start with a quick safety and circulation check (water level, skimmers,
pump prime, filter pressure, and return flow), then choose the right cleanup method: vac-to-waste when debris and algae need to be physically removed
from the system, or vac through the filter when your setup can handle it without choking off flow. From there we brush walls, steps, and trouble areas
to break loose film, then run slow, controlled vacuum lanes to pull what’s on the floor without stirring the whole pool back up. You’ll get clear, practical
next steps (run-time, backwash/clean timing, and chemical guidance) so the pool continues improving over the next 24–72 hours instead of bouncing back to cloudy again.
What to Expect
Built for Heavy Cleanups in
Power Vac is designed for pools that are beyond a normal cleaning — thick leaves on the floor, algae blooms
after a late opening, pump or filter issues that left the water cloudy, or heavy debris after storms. We start by
checking circulation, equipment, and water level so we can safely vacuum to waste or through the filter depending
on your setup. Our techs brush and manually vacuum the floor and trouble spots, purge debris, and set up circulation
so filtration and chemicals can do their job after we leave. You’ll get clear notes on follow-up steps and whether
a second visit is recommended based on how your pool responds over the next 24–72 hours.
What’s Included
- Visual inspection of pool, equipment pad, and water level before we start.
- Manual floor and wall brushing to break up algae and debris.
- Power vacuuming to waste or through the filter (based on plumbing and condition).

- Note: Power Vac focuses on cleanup, not equipment repair — pump, filter, or plumbing fixes are quoted separately if needed.

Power Vac — FAQs
Is Power Vac the same as a regular vacuum or weekly cleaning?
No — Power Vac is a heavy-cleanup visit for green pools, thick debris, and stubborn cloudiness. It’s slower, more controlled, and often includes vac-to-waste when debris/algae needs to be physically removed from the system.
What’s the difference between vacuuming to waste and vacuuming through the filter?
Vac-to-waste sends dirty water out of the pool (best for algae/silt), while vacuuming through the filter keeps water in the pool but loads the filter quickly. We choose the safest option based on your plumbing, water level, and condition.
How quickly will my pool look clear after a Power Vac in ?
Many pools look dramatically better the same day, then continue clearing over 24–72 hours with proper run-time and chemistry. If the pool is a true “swamp,” expect 2–3 visits — we’ll tell you that before we start.
What should I do before you arrive?
Raise the water level to mid-skimmer if possible, unlock gates, clear the equipment pad, and send a couple photos of the water color and floor. It helps us decide whether vac-to-waste is needed and how aggressive the cleanup should be.
Can a dirty filter prevent the pool from clearing even after Power Vac?
Yes. If cartridges are clogged, DE grids are loaded, or sand needs backwashing, the pool can re-cloud quickly. We monitor pressure and recommend the right clean/backwash timing so the pool keeps improving after we leave.
