The "Big Clean" – Start Your Season Fresh.

Professional Initial Vacuum & Spring Cleanup Services

Don't ruin your filter trying to clean up winter's mess. Opening your pool is exciting, but staring at a layer of dead leaves, silt, and sludge at the bottom is not. The first vacuum of the season is the hardest, heaviest, and most dangerous for your pool equipment. Let Blue Bottom Pools handle the heavy lifting so you can start swimming sooner.

What is the "Initial Vacuum"?

This is a specialized, one-time service designed to transform your pool from a winter swamp into a swim-ready oasis. Unlike a standard maintenance visit, this service focuses on removing the heavy sediment and debris that accumulates over the off-season.

We bring our own heavy-duty equipment so you don't wear yours out. Standard pool filters aren't designed to handle inches of sludge. We use portable, industrial-strength vacuum systems to bypass your filter entirely, protecting your expensive cartridges or sand from clogging and damage.

Our Initial Vacuum Process Includes:

• Debris Removal: Scooping and netting of large leaf piles and organic matter.
  

• Vacuum-to-Waste: We vacuum the fine silt, dead algae, and dirt directly out of the pool (bypassing your filter) to ensure it doesn't circle back into the water.
  

• Blind Vacuuming: If the water is murky, we use specialized techniques to remove debris we can't see, clearing the floor by feel and slow precision.
  

• Water Level Management: Since we vacuum debris out of the pool, water levels will drop. We monitor this carefully (homeowners must be prepared to refill the pool after service).
  

Why Hire a Pro for the First Clean?

• 🚫 Save Your Filter: Winter debris can destroy a filter cartridge in minutes. Our portable pumps take the hit instead of your equipment.
  

• ⏱️ Save Your Time: What might take you three weekends of "scoop and settle" takes us just one or two visits.
  

• 💪 Heavy Lifting: Wet leaves are heavy. We handle the labor so you don't have to
