What Is Pool Acid Washing?

Acid washing is a deep cleaning process that removes a thin layer of plaster from your pool's surface, taking stubborn stains, mineral deposits, and algae with it. The result is a bright, clean finish that looks years younger.

Unlike regular cleaning or even a chlorine wash, acid washing addresses issues that have penetrated the pool surface - stains that won't brush off, scale buildup from hard water, and discoloration from years of chemical exposure.

Signs Your Pool Needs an Acid Wash

Consider an acid wash if you notice any of these issues:

  • Stubborn stains that won't come off with brushing or chemicals
  • Mineral scale buildup along the waterline and on walls
  • Rough, textured surfaces that feel like sandpaper
  • Dull, faded plaster that's lost its original color
  • Persistent algae staining from previous green pool episodes
  • Metal stains from iron, copper, or other minerals in your water
  • Overall dingy appearance despite regular cleaning
