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 near , , 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).
- 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
When should I book a Power Vac instead of a regular cleaning?
Book a Power Vac when the pool is beyond normal maintenance — heavy debris on the floor, cloudy water that keeps returning, algae blooms, or post-storm mess that needs slow, controlled vacuuming and brushing to reset the pool.
Do you vacuum to waste in Merrick?
When the pool condition calls for it and your plumbing setup supports it, yes. Vac-to-waste physically removes algae and fine debris from the system so it doesn’t keep cycling back into the water. If waste isn’t an option, we vacuum through filtration and manage pressure/flow safely.
Will a Power Vac clear my pool in one visit?
Sometimes — if the pool is mostly debris with manageable cloudiness. If it’s a true “swamp” pool, you may need 2–3 visits spaced out so filtration and chemistry can catch up. We’ll tell you straight on site before we start.
What should I do before your technician arrives?
Clear access to the equipment pad, make sure the water level is mid-skimmer if possible, remove toys/solar cover, and let us know if your multiport valve has a waste setting. If you’re unsure, don’t touch anything — we’ll handle it.
Why does my pool get cloudy again after I shock it?
Shocking can kill algae, but it doesn’t remove the dead material and fine debris from the pool. If that debris stays in the water or filter gets overloaded, the pool can re-cloud. Power Vac removes the junk physically and sets the filter up to finish the job.
