Acid Wash Pool Service in North Atlanta
Even with routine pool maintenance, sometimes your swimming pool will have issues that need a deeper cleaning process. Stains on the pool surface, dull plaster, algae that keeps coming back, or mineral buildup along the tile line can make your pool look older than it really is. Scrubbing with a pool brush may help, but it can still leave stains behind. Our acid wash service helps pool owners in the North Atlanta area bring their pool back to a clean, bright, and refreshed look.
What Is Acid Washing?
A pool acid wash is a deep cleaning method that uses a carefully diluted muriatic acid solution to remove a thin layer from the pool’s surface, typically plaster or inground concrete. This process lifts stains, mineral deposits, calcium buildup, and algae that standard brushing and chemicals cannot fully remove. Our team handles the entire cleaning process safely and efficiently so you do not have to worry about potential dangers tied to acid exposure or improper handling.
When Does a Pool Need an Acid Wash?
Many Atlanta area pool owners wait too long before scheduling an acid wash. Knowing the signs helps you avoid larger issues later. Your pool may need an acid wash if you notice:
- Stubborn pool stains that don’t clear up after brushing
- White calcium deposits or mineral buildup along the tile line or pool wall
- Algae stains that return even when water chemistry looks balanced
- A dull or discolored pool surface despite regular maintenance
- An unused pool that has been sitting with drained or stagnant water
