Pool Acid Wash in Prosper, TX
Remove stubborn algae stains, hard water scale, and discoloration. We safely drain, wash, and restore your pool's original bright finish without damaging the surface.
Pool Acid Wash Services in Prosper
Over time, plaster and pebble surfaces absorb minerals and stains that regular brushing cannot fix. Our targeted acid washing safely removes the top layer of discoloration.
Full Surface Acid Wash
A complete drain and controlled muriatic acid application to strip away years of embedded dirt, algae stains, and mineral deposits.
Calcium Nodule Removal
Targeted treatment for hard white calcium scale that builds up on your pool walls, steps, and spillways from hard water conditions.
Chlorine Bath Treatment
A milder alternative to an acid wash. We use a high-concentration liquid chlorine wash to kill deep-rooted algae and brighten the surface.
Green Pool Recovery
When a pool has been neglected for too long, draining and acid washing is often the most cost-effective way to reset the water chemistry safely.
Post-Wash Neutralization
We carefully neutralize all acidic wastewater with soda ash before pumping it out, ensuring your property and the environment are protected.
Startup Chemistry Balancing
After the pool is refilled, we return to add the necessary startup chemicals, balancing the pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness.
Materials We Safely Treat
Acid washing is highly effective, but it must be tailored to your specific pool finish. We safely wash traditional white plaster, colored plaster, and premium aggregate surfaces like PebbleTec, Diamond Brite, and QuartzScapes. Each material reacts differently to acid, and our team knows exactly how to adjust the dilution ratios to prevent etching or pitting.
We do not acid wash fiberglass or vinyl liner pools, as the harsh chemicals will destroy those materials. For those surfaces, we offer specialized, non-acidic stain treatments. When we perform an acid wash, we use professional-grade muriatic acid and industrial neutralizers, ensuring a clean result without compromising the structural integrity of your pool shell.
How a Pool Acid Wash Visit Works
Assessment & Draining
We inspect the plaster thickness to ensure it can withstand a wash. Then, we safely pump the water out of your pool to a designated drainage area.
Acid Application
Our technicians apply a carefully diluted acid mixture to the walls and floor, scrubbing tough stains while the acid lifts the discolored top layer.
Neutralize & Rinse
We immediately neutralize the acid with soda ash to stop the etching process, then thoroughly rinse the entire pool shell.
Refill & Balance
Once the pool is clean, we start the refill process. When full, we return to test the tap water and add the necessary startup chemicals.
Warning Signs You Need a Pool Acid Wash
Regular brushing cannot fix everything. Look for these signs that your pool surface needs a professional deep clean.
Stubborn Algae Stains
Dark green or black algae stains that refuse to lift even after heavy brushing and shocking.
Rough, Scaly Walls
The plaster feels like rough sandpaper due to years of hard water calcium buildup.
Overall Discoloration
Your once-white plaster now looks yellow, brown, or gray from absorbed minerals and dirt.
Swamp Condition
The pool has sat stagnant for months or years, creating a thick layer of sludge that requires a full drain.
