Strip years of stains, algae and buildup back to a clean surface.
Sometimes water chemistry alone cannot save a surface. Years of staining, stubborn algae, or a pool left to go green need a drain and acid wash: a controlled process that removes a thin layer of plaster to reveal the clean surface underneath. Done correctly, it can make a stained pool look years younger.
Draining and acid washing must be done carefully to protect the shell and follow LA drainage rules. We handle both safely.
Drain the pool the right way, respecting hydrostatic pressure and local drainage rules.
Confirm acid washing is the right call and the shell can take it.
Evenly remove a thin layer of plaster to lift stains, algae and scale.
Spot-treat stubborn metal or organic stains where needed.
Neutralize and dispose of wash water responsibly, leaving the site clean.
Refill and balance the water so the freshly exposed surface stays healthy.
Acid washing removes plaster, so it can only be done a limited number of times in a surface's life. We assess first and will tell you honestly if a wash will help or if resurfacing is the smarter move.
When it is the right call, we do it evenly and safely, and manage draining to protect both the shell and the surrounding ground.
