'Worst ever': Aussie pool cleaner reveals pool so dirty there's a tree growing in it
An Australian pool cleaner has shared incredible images of what might just be the “worst green pool ever”.
Earlier in the week, Jim’s Pool Care shared the remarkable images which were taken when one of their pool franchisees were called to restore a pool.
The pool is completely drained, with dirt sitting at the bottom and plants growing wild in the middle because the customer had been using the pool for a very peculiar purpose.
“Sometimes Jim’s Pool Care gets an interesting green pool recovery project like this one,” Jim’s Pool Care said on its website.
“Can you imagine our local Jim’s Pool Care Franchisee when he arrived? (We almost suggested Jim’s Mowing to start with!).”
Jim’s explained the customer had been using their swimming pool as an aquarium and was ready convert it back.
“Could this be the worst green pool ever?” the pool cleaning service pondered.
Fortunately, the pool was restored and Jim’s said it only required labour, effort and chemicals.
“Just so you know, our team can handle just about any green pool problem, it is usually just down to the amount of labour, effort and pool chemicals required,” Jim’s said.
“This one took shovel loads of direct soil and slime to be removed over the course of a week or so. Then a complete gurney and acid wash.”
The after photos show the pool was refilled with the needed chemicals to get it ready for swimming again, complete with a salt water Chlorination System upgrade.
Jim’s said they would have liked the customer to either re-paint or re-surface the pool due to the deteriorating pool walls, however the customer said they will do that another time.
