Acid Washes for Pools

A pool owner may realize that, after years of keeping a pool maintained, certain chemicals and minerals may have stained the pool’s surface or began to build up. These stains can make a pool lose its brightness, its color, and can even affect the cleanliness of its water. To remove these stains and build ups, a pool owner may want to schedule a cleaning crew to come and provide an acid wash for their pool.

Acid washes are powerful cleaning solutions that can blast away years of slowly building problems in a pool in a single treatment. These washes can be easily administered by a trained technician. Acid washes, although powerful enough to remove tough stains, will not damage or destroy most pools’ surfaces. Plaster, pebble tec, and brick pools may all benefit from acid washes without seeing these surfaces ruined by the cleaning chemicals. These washes can even be used with colored or black plaster surfaces without damaging the quality of the surfaces’ color.

Most major stains and build-ups can be handled by an acid wash treatment. Over time, a pool owner may realize that their pool has been stained by copper or magnesium. These washes can remove these stains, giving the pool its original brightness and clean look. Additionally, these washes will get rid of calcium deposits and even can remove scale from a pool’s surface. These treatments are also useful to get rid of algae that may be building up in a pool.
