Why Acid Wash Your Pool?

Pools and spas are a fantastic luxury and recreational addition to any home or office. Unfortunately, they also require a good deal of maintenance, something not all pool owners are aware of when they first commit to installing their pool. If left unmaintained for long enough, some pools may require serious measures to remove stains that may have accumulated over the years. One of the most effective ways of accomplishing this is an acid wash.

Acid washes work by removing a small layer of a pool’s plaster lining. Acid and water are mixed together and then slowly applied to the plaster lining. This is typically performed by trained pool service technicians, because the chemicals involved can be extremely dangerous to the environment and to your health.

Benefits of Acid Washing

While it may not be right for every pool or in every situation, acid washing is one of the most effective methods available for providing a pool with a deep clean. An acid wash can remove:

• Copper stains
• Magnesium stains
• Calcium deposits
• Scale
• Algae

These are typically the result of months or years of improper maintenance, and are extremely difficult to remove without the assistance of powerful chemicals. A professional pool cleaning technician can provide you with a safe and effective acid wash.
