Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Your Pool Deck Drains

Cleaning your pool deck drains is easier than you might think. Follow these simple steps for the best results:

Step 1: BE SURE THE WATER HAS A PLACE TO GO ON THE OUTSIDE OF YOURPATIO WHERE THE DRAIN EXITS

Most pool deck drains drain on both ends of the patio. Sometimes that area gets overgrown with grass, dirt, mulch, or plants. You need to be sure there is a clear area for the water to drain before starting to clean your drains.

Once you trace the TEMPLATE onto the surface of your drain, you can cut the access opening into your drain. Be sure to remove all pieces that fall into the drain.

Step 4: Flush the Drain

With the access holes now cut into your drains, you can now begin using your hose or pressure washer to flush out your drains. You will most likely have to push, pull and twist the hose to help dislodge the built up dirt, sand, pet hair, shingle stones, and anything else that may be clogging your drains. Repeat this motion several times until you feel the drain is clear. This helps ensure the drain is fully clear and water flows freely.

Step 5: Replace the Pool Deck Drain Janitor Drain cap

Once you’re confident the drain is clean, install the Pool Deck Drain Janitor drain caps back on securely. This keeps debris out and prevents accidents.
