Over time, your pool can accumulate stubborn stains, algae, and mineral deposits that regular cleaning just can’t handle. If you’re noticing a dull, discolored, or uneven surface, an acid wash might be the perfect solution to restore your pool’s beauty.
An acid wash, sometimes called a “drain and clean,” is a process where your pool is drained, and a specialized acid mixture is used to clean the surface. This powerful treatment removes a thin, stained layer of the plaster, revealing a brighter, cleaner finish underneath.
Key Benefits of an Acid Wash:
- Effective Stain Removal: An acid wash is highly effective at removing tough stains from mineral deposits, hard water, and stubborn algae.
- A “Fresh Start”: It’s an ideal way to reset a neglected pool or one with significant built-up contaminants, giving it a clean slate.
- Surface Preparation: This process can also be used to prepare your pool’s surface before resurfacing or repainting, as it helps improve the adhesion of new finishes.
It’s important to remember that an acid wash is an aggressive procedure and should only be done by a trained professional. Improper application can lead to streaking or a rough, uneven surface. For the best results and to ensure the longevity of your pool, it’s a job best left to the experts.
