An acid wash or chlorine wash is an essential part of maintaining a clean, healthy, and beautiful swimming pool. Over time, algae, calcium buildup, and stains can cling to the pool’s surface, making it appear dull or discolored. An acid wash uses a mild solution to remove these stubborn stains, brightening the surface and restoring its original color. A chlorine wash, on the other hand, effectively eliminates bacteria, algae, and organic contaminants that can cause unpleasant odors or slippery surfaces. Performing these services helps extend the life of your pool finish, improves water quality, and ensures a sanitary environment for swimmers by removing the hidden pathogens that hide in porous surface. Regular maintenance like this not only enhances the look of your pool but also protects your investment for years to come.

Signs you need and Acid Wash or Chlorine Wash

•Persistent Stains: You see dark patches, rust spots or copper/manganese discoloration (blue, green, or red/pink hues) that do not respond to scrubbing or stain removing chemicals.

•Rough Sandpaper Texture: The pool walls and floors feel gritty or sharp due to calcium scale build-up. In extreme cases polishing is the best way to get a smooth clean surface back.

•Dull/Dingy Plaster: Your once bright plaster looks chalky, yellow, grey or tan despite proper water chemistry.

•Murky Bottom: The water is so Dark/Green or stained that you cannot clearly see the floor of shallow end.
