These before-and-after photos show the same pool before and after a professional acid wash. Heavy mineral staining and surface discoloration were significantly reduced, restoring a cleaner, brighter plaster finish.
Every pool is different. Acid washing is recommended only when it's the right solution for the condition of the plaster. We'll always recommend the service that provides the best long-term results.
An acid wash uses a controlled acidic solution to remove a very thin layer from certain plaster or aggregate pool surfaces. It may improve the appearance of severe staining or buildup, but it is more aggressive than ordinary cleaning and should only be recommended after the surface is evaluated.
It may reduce certain mineral deposits, organic stains, algae residue, and discoloration located near the surface.
It cannot repair cracks, delamination, roughness, exposed aggregate, worn plaster, or structural problems in the pool finish.
Some stains are embedded deeply or caused by deterioration. The degree of improvement depends on the surface and the source of the discoloration.
We review the surface condition, staining, pool finish, age, and whether a less aggressive option may work.
The service is planned around weather, groundwater risk, equipment, drainage, and safe access.
The surface is treated methodically and thoroughly rinsed using an approach appropriate for the pool.
The pool is refilled and startup water chemistry is addressed to protect the surface and equipment.
Because acid washing removes a thin layer of the pool finish, repeated or unnecessary treatments can shorten the useful life of plaster and aggregate surfaces. It should not be placed on a routine schedule.
Our goal is to recommend it only when the condition of the surface and the expected benefit justify the treatment.
It may be considered for severe surface staining, mineral scale, algae residue, or discoloration that cannot be corrected through less aggressive cleaning methods.
No. The surface type, age, condition, previous treatments, and severity of staining need to be evaluated first.
No. Some staining may be deeply embedded or caused by deterioration of the finish. The expected result should be discussed before work begins.
It should not be routine maintenance. Because the process removes a thin layer of the finish, it should only be used when justified by the surface condition.
