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 wind-driven leaf load, fine grit 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 windy stretches. 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).
- Leaf and debris removal from floor, corners, and common dead spots.
- Filter pressure check and basic backwash/rinse to restore flow where possible.
- Shock and chemical guidance based on pool volume and current readings.
- Circulation pattern review (returns aimed correctly, skimmers pulling well).
- Texted notes on what we did, what we recommend next, and what to watch for.
- Note: Power Vac focuses on cleanup, not equipment repair — pump, filter, or plumbing fixes are quoted separately if needed.
- Note: Severe “swamp” pools may require multiple visits — we’ll explain options and expected timelines clearly on site.

Power Vac — FAQs
What’s the difference between a Power Vac and a regular cleaning?
A regular cleaning is maintenance. A Power Vac is a heavy cleanup for green/cloudy water, thick debris on the floor, or post-storm mess. We brush, vacuum more aggressively, and choose vac-to-waste vs filter based on what’s safest for your system.
Do you vacuum to waste in ?
Yes—when it makes sense. If the debris/algae needs to be physically removed from the system, vac-to-waste is often the fastest way to improve clarity. We’ll confirm your plumbing setup and water level first and explain the plan before starting.
How long until the pool is clear after a Power Vac?
Many pools look noticeably better immediately, then continue clearing over the next 24–72 hours with filtration and proper chemistry. If the pool is a severe “swamp,” it may take 2–3 visits. We’ll set expectations on-site.
Will a Power Vac clog or damage my filter?
Not if it’s done correctly. We watch filter pressure and flow closely and choose the safest method for your setup. If running through the filter would spike pressure too fast, we switch to vac-to-waste or adjust the approach.
What should I do before you arrive?
Make sure we have gate access, the water level is mid-skimmer if possible, pets are secured, and the equipment pad is accessible. If you can, text a few photos of the pool and equipment so we can plan the right cleanup strategy.
