SIGNS YOUR POOL NEEDS ACID WASH
A pool surface doesn’t have to be visibly damaged to benefit from pool acid washing. These indicators tell you it’s time for professional swimming pool acid wash treatment:
- Stubborn Staining – Brown, gray, or black stains that won’t respond to brushing or shock treatments
- Algae Penetration – Black algae roots embedded in plaster that keep returning after chemical treatment
- Mineral Scaling – White or gray calcium carbonate deposits covering the waterline or pool floor
- Surface Discoloration – Dull, yellowed, or uneven coloring across plaster or aggregate finishes
- Rough Texture – Chalky or abrasive surface feel caused by etching and mineral accumulation
POOL ACID WASH PROCESS
- Surface Evaluation & Draining: We inspect the pool finish, identify stain types, test plaster thickness, and completely drain the pool using approved methods to prevent structural damage.
- Deck Protection & Prep: Surrounding areas are covered with tarps and plastic sheeting. Plants, furniture, and nearby surfaces are protected from acid contact and overspray.
- Acid Application & Activation: Professional-strength muriatic acid solution is applied evenly across all surfaces using acid-resistant brushes and pumps. The solution activates immediately, lifting stains and dissolving mineral deposits.
- Scrubbing & Spot Treatment: Stubborn areas receive additional attention with stiff brushes and concentrated application. Black algae pockets are treated with direct acid contact to kill roots.
- Neutralization & Rinse: The entire surface is thoroughly rinsed with clean water. Acid is neutralized on-site using approved methods. All wastewater is directed away from landscaping and follows local regulations.
- Final Inspection & Refill Prep: We verify complete stain removal, check surface condition, inspect for any damage, and prepare the pool for refilling with balanced startup chemicals.
Most Pool acid wash are completed in 3–5 hours depending on pool size.
