Show Notes
Vacuuming: love it, hate it, or charge extra for it—every pool pro has a take. In this episode, we’re breaking down your vacuuming options on route: when to vacuum manually, when to use a Vacuum System, and when to skip it altogether. Learn how to set client expectations, avoid time-wasting pool traps, and charge appropriately for extra labor. Whether you’re dealing with a leaf jungle, fine dust, or oversized monsters, this episode will help you clean smarter—not harder.
