Is $175 to clean pool main drain area a fair price?
Project Details
This is the third summer with my pool, and I haven’t been able to properly clean inside the main drain area, which has accumulated quite a bit of debris. When I swim above it, the debris floats out. Last year, I tried kicking up the debris and using a vacuum, but it was ineffective. I'm looking for a better way to clean it, preferably on my own, and clean as needed. I've tried diverting suction to 100% main drain, but it didn't seem to suck up much debris. I'm considering doing it the way I did before or hiring a professional.

Drain and clean a pool
This service involves draining and cleaning the pool. The company indicated it was the only way to remove suspected plaster particles, algae, leaves, and other debris. However, they advised me to perform the service myself, as the pool's plaster is 20-30 years old and coming off, and they didn't want to charge me for something I could do myself.
