Professional Acid Washing
Acid washing is an essential service for revitalizing your pool's appearance and functionality. We'll explain the ideal times for acid washing, how to protect your pool's structure, and the procedure we use.
When to Choose Acid Washing
When stains and algae proliferate, they can detract from your pool’s aesthetics and hygiene. Acid washing is a chemical process that targets these stubborn spots, where traditional cleaning fails.
We recommend acid washing every 5-7 years for residential pools. Frequent incidents of algae blooms signal it’s time to consider this service. Also, if your pool has been dormant and uncovered, acid washing can restore its surface.
Our technicians ensure that acid washing is done only when necessary to avoid damaging the pool’s finish, offering you an effective cleaning solution.
Safeguarding Your Pool’s Structural Integrity
Maintaining your pool's structural integrity during acid washing is pivotal. We've adopted methods to minimize risks and protect your investment.
We drain the pool completely before starting the acid wash. This prevents excess acid from lingering and degrading the pool surface. In cases where draining isn’t an option, we use controlled acid bath techniques.
Quality equipment and trained professionals enable us to handle the high acidity safely. By applying acid evenly and scrubbing methodically, we mitigate the risk of etching or damaging the pool liner.

We commence the process by draining the pool thoroughly. Ensuring the pool is dry gives us a clean slate to work on.
Next, we mix hydrochloric acid with water in a controlled ratio to achieve the desired cleaning effect. Using sprayers, we apply this solution from top to bottom, covering all areas uniformly.
Our skilled technicians use brushes to scrub surfaces, breaking down grime, stains, and calcium build-up. Once the cleaning is complete, we neutralize the acid with a base solution, wash away residues, and refill the pool. This entire procedure ensures your pool regains its pristine condition without compromising its longevity.
