    Pool Acid Wash Services in Spring

    We safely and effectively strip away years of grime, bringing your pool's plaster back to life.

    Stain Removal

    We lift deep-set stains caused by leaves, dirt, rust, and copper that standard brushing and chlorine cannot remove.

    Algae Eradication

    For pools that have turned into "green swamps," an acid wash destroys algae spores embedded deep in the plaster's pores.

    Scale Reduction

    We dissolve the rough, white calcium scale that builds up on the pool walls and floor due to hard water conditions.

    Safe Acid Application

    Our technicians carefully mix the correct ratio of muriatic acid to water, ensuring we clean the surface without damaging the plaster.

    Waste Neutralization

    We neutralize the acidic waste water before pumping it out, ensuring it is disposed of safely and responsibly.

    Post-Wash Balancing

    After refilling the pool, we meticulously balance the fresh water chemistry to protect the newly exposed plaster surface.

    Materials We Work With

    An acid wash is a serious chemical process that requires the right materials and expertise. We use professional-grade muriatic acid, carefully diluted on-site to match the specific needs of your pool's plaster. We also utilize soda ash to safely neutralize the acid puddle at the bottom of the pool before disposal.

    This treatment is designed specifically for plaster, pebble, and quartz surfaces. We do not acid wash vinyl liners or fiberglass pools, as the acid would destroy those materials. Our technicians are trained to assess your pool's surface type and condition to ensure an acid wash is the safe and correct choice.

    How a Pool Acid Wash Visit Works

    1

    Assessment & Draining

    We confirm your plaster is thick enough to handle the wash, provide a written quote, and safely drain the pool using submersible pumps.

    2

    Acid Application

    We apply the diluted acid mixture in sections, scrubbing the stains and immediately rinsing it down to prevent streaking or damage.

    3

    Neutralization

    We collect the acidic waste water at the bottom drain, neutralize it with soda ash, and safely pump it out of the pool.

    4

    Refill & Balance

    We begin refilling the pool with fresh water. Once full, we return to add the necessary startup chemicals and balance the water perfectly.

    Warning Signs You Need an Acid Wash

    If regular brushing and shocking aren't working, your pool's surface may need a deeper clean.

    • The plaster is covered in tough, brown or yellow stains from leaves and dirt.
    • Your pool has suffered a severe algae bloom and the walls are stained green or black.
    • There is a rough, sandpaper-like white calcium scale coating the walls and floor.
    • The water is balanced, but the pool still looks dingy, dull, and uninviting.
