Acid Wash Service

Before we get started here lets be perfectly clear, an acid washing is for in ground concrete or gunite pools only. The acid if used on a vinyl lining will destroy the lining and leave you with a holey pool.
Acid washing will strip a thin layer off the plaster lining the pool as well as any chlorine stains, hard to remove algae, dirt, or spots and expose a new fresh layer of plaster. So why exactly go so far as to drain and acid wash an entire pool. A couple reasons.

• Keeping a clean, well balanced pool does wonders for it and will do the job for a long time to come but eventually the wall and floors of your pool will start to show some wear. If regular cleaning isn’t getting the job done anymore you might want to look into acid washing.
• If you continuously are having algae problems that won’t seem to clear it might just need to have a deeper cleaning then just brushing and vacuuming. Acid washing should be used as a last resort for an algae infection, most of the time algae shouldn’t need such extreme measures to get rid of.
• If a pool sits stagnant for any significant amount of time, as if not properly winterized could be one, it is possible to need a good acid wash to bring your pool back to its best.
• Normal wear of a pool will eventually get to the point where your pool just doesn’t look as good as it should. About every five years is a good timeline to start looking into stripping away that old layer and exposing a new one.
