Pool Deep Cleaning for Bungalow in Bangsar Park, Bangsar
Bangsar Park, Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur
This Bangsar Park bungalow features a spacious 15m x 6m private pool that had been left unattended for three months while the homeowner carried out major interior renovations. By the time we were called in, the pool had deteriorated significantly, with thick green algae covering the walls and floor, heavy debris accumulation, and water chemistry that was well outside safe parameters. The owner needed the pool fully restored before moving the family back in.
Three months without any maintenance had turned this once-pristine bungalow pool into an unsightly green mess. Algae had colonised every surface, from the waterline tiles down to the pool floor. Fallen leaves, twigs, and organic matter had built up in the skimmer baskets and across the surface. Water testing revealed a pH of 8.8, zero detectable free chlorine, and dangerously high phosphate levels that were feeding the algae growth. The filtration system had also been switched off during renovation, allowing sediment to settle throughout the plumbing.
We deployed a three-person specialist cleaning crew equipped with industrial-grade tools and chemicals. Our strategy combined mechanical cleaning with targeted chemical treatment to ensure every trace of algae was eliminated at the root level, not just on the surface. We planned for a complete acid wash of the pool shell, followed by a multi-stage chemical rebalancing process to bring the water back to safe, swimmable conditions.
Conducted a full water chemistry analysis, testing pH, chlorine, alkalinity, cyanuric acid, and phosphate levels. Documented the extent of algae coverage across all pool surfaces and assessed the condition of the filtration equipment.
Skimmed all surface debris, cleared clogged skimmer and pump baskets, and partially drained the pool to expose the worst algae patches along the waterline tiles and upper walls.
Performed a thorough acid wash on all exposed pool surfaces to strip away algae staining and calcium deposits. Applied a targeted algaecide treatment to kill algae at the root, particularly in grout lines and textured surfaces where it embeds deeply.
Refilled the pool to operating level, then applied a calcium hypochlorite shock treatment at triple-dose concentration. Balanced pH to 7.4, adjusted total alkalinity, and added clarifier to accelerate water clearing. Ran the filtration system continuously with multiple backwash cycles.
Vacuumed all settled particles from the pool floor, cleaned the filter one final time, and performed a comprehensive water test to confirm all parameters were within safe swimming range. Pool was crystal clear within 48 hours.
Opaque green water with zero visibility. Dense algae coating on walls, floor, and grout lines. pH at 8.8, chlorine undetectable, phosphate levels critically high. Debris covering the surface and clogging all skimmers. Filtration system offline for 3 months.
Crystal-clear blue water with full floor visibility. All algae completely eliminated, including embedded growth in grout lines. pH balanced at 7.4, free chlorine at 3 ppm, phosphates neutralised. Filtration running at peak efficiency. Pool safe for swimming.
The homeowner was able to move back into the bungalow on schedule, with the pool fully restored and ready for the family to enjoy. We also recommended signing up for a monthly maintenance plan to prevent any future recurrence during periods when the pool might go unattended.
