Even the best-maintained pools can lose their original luster over time. Algae, leaves, calcium buildup, and rust stains can slowly change the color of your surface, dulling that crisp, fresh look you remember. If your pool is not the same color it was when it was built or if you are tired of seeing stubborn stains that will not scrub away an acid wash might be exactly what it needs.

What an Acid Wash Does
An acid wash is a specialized cleaning process that removes stains, scale, and calcium deposits from the pool’s surface. It reaches into the corners, crevices, and textured areas where buildup hides, revealing the original finish underneath. If your pool water has been cloudy for a long time, or if you can no longer clearly see the floor and walls, this service can be a complete transformation.

Because an acid wash removes a very thin layer of the pool’s surface, we recommend it only every few years or as truly needed. This careful timing keeps your finish in excellent condition for the long term while still delivering that dramatic “like-new” appearance.

More Than Just Stain Removal
Not every acid wash is about “swamp conditions.” Many of our customers choose it for purely cosmetic reasons—to brighten a white finish, refresh a pebble surface, or prepare the pool for a special event or sale of the home. Whatever the motivation, the results are immediate and impressive.

Our Proven Process

• We follow a detailed, time-tested process to ensure your pool gets the best care:
• Drain the pool completely to expose every inch of the surface.
• Inspect the entire interior for visible damage or trouble spots before we begin.
• Apply a controlled acid solution that breaks down buildup without harming your finish.
• Scrub and rinse thoroughly, ensuring stains and deposits are fully removed.
• Refill with fresh water and carefully rebalance chemicals for safe swimming.
