Agua Donkeys

Two Utah pool cleaners chase perfect tans, vibes, and chemical balances while servicing the wildest backyard pools in town.

Agua Donkeys follows MP and Jer, coworkers at the pool-cleaning outfit that shares the show’s name, as they roll through another endless summer in their Utah hometown. The pair treat every job like a quest for the ideal bromine-to-chlorine mix, the deepest tan, and the loosest backyard atmosphere they can find. Clients range from ordinary suburban yards to the flashiest setups the neighborhood can offer, and the duo’s deadpan banter carries them from one stop to the next. MP, tied to creator MP Cunningham, anchors the routine while Jer matches his pace through the heat and the hose work. Small mishaps with filters, floats, and over-chlorinated water keep the days moving without ever leaving the local circuit. Their shared goal stays simple: keep the water clear and the vibe intact before the next call comes in.

Later stretches keep MP and Jer locked into the same rhythm of early starts, long afternoons, and quick assessments of whatever backyard chaos awaits. They trade dry observations about sun angles, chemical readings, and the odd habits of the people whose pools they maintain. Friendships and work friction surface only through the jobs themselves, never through big speeches or outside crusades. A tough clean or a stubborn stain becomes the day’s entire plot, resolved with the same low-key competence that defines the rest of the run. The pair ends most shifts still chasing that perfect mix and that perfect tan, ready to do it again tomorrow. Nothing in the known outline pulls them away from the pools, the heat, or each other.
