How much does weekly pool maintenance cost?

Every pool is unique, and pricing depends on factors like pool size, surrounding vegetation, and equipment type. We give a free written quote after seeing your situation, no pressure.

Do I need to be home for the pool cleaning service?

No, you do not need to be home while we service your pool. As long as our technicians have clear access to the backyard and pool equipment area, we can complete our full maintenance routine.

How often should my pool filter be cleaned?

Most pool filters require a deep cleaning every three to six months, depending on the filter type (DE, cartridge, or sand) and your pool's usage.

What is an acid wash and when do I need one?

An acid wash is a restorative process that strips a microscopic layer of plaster to remove tough stains, severe algae blooms, and hard water scaling.

Can you repair my broken pool pump?

Yes, pool equipment repair is one of our specialties. With over 35 years of experience, we can diagnose and fix issues with pumps, motors, heaters, and automation systems.

Are you licensed and insured to work in Boerne?

Absolutely. We are fully insured and properly licensed to perform all pool cleaning, maintenance, and repair services throughout Boerne, Fair Oaks, and Helotes.

How often should my Boerne pool be acid washed?

Acid washing strips a microscopic layer of plaster away to reveal the clean surface underneath. Because it removes plaster, it should only be done every five to seven years, or when severe staining makes it absolutely necessary.

Will an acid wash remove all stains?

It removes most surface stains, including algae, leaf tannins, and hard water calcium scale. However, if a stain has penetrated deeply into the plaster or if the plaster is fundamentally deteriorating, an acid wash may not completely remove it.

Is it safe to acid wash an older pool?

It depends on the condition of the plaster. If your plaster is already thinning, rough to the touch, or showing the gunite underneath, an acid wash could damage it further. We always perform a careful assessment before recommending this service.

How long does the acid washing process take?

The entire process usually takes two to three days. This includes safely draining the pool on day one, performing the acid wash and neutralizing the surface on day two, and beginning the refill process.

Do I need to be home while you acid wash?

No, you do not need to be home. As long as we have access to the backyard, the equipment pad, and an outdoor water spigot, we can complete the entire process safely while you are away.

Professional pool acid washing service in Boerne TX

Pool Acid Wash Services in Boerne

A highly effective restorative process designed to tackle the stains that regular brushing and chemicals cannot remove.

Safe Pool Draining

We safely drain the water using a submersible pump, carefully routing the discharge away from your home's foundation and landscaping to prevent flooding.

Algae Stain Removal

Deeply embedded green and black algae stains are stripped away as the acid dissolves the microscopic layer of plaster holding the organic matter.

Calcium Scale Treatment

Hard water leaves rough, white calcium nodules on your walls. The acid wash breaks down these mineral deposits, restoring a smoother finish.

Controlled Application

We use a carefully mixed ratio of muriatic acid and water, applying it evenly to prevent streaking and ensure a uniform, bright finish across the entire pool.

Surface Neutralization

Once the wash is complete, we apply a neutralizing agent like soda ash to stop the chemical reaction instantly, protecting the remaining plaster from damage.

Startup Chemistry

After the pool is refilled, we return to add the necessary startup chemicals, balancing the fresh tap water so it is safe and ready for swimming.

Surfaces We Acid Wash

Acid washing is specifically designed for traditional white plaster (marcite), quartz, and exposed aggregate finishes like PebbleTec. The acid safely etches these cementitious surfaces to remove stains.

We do not acid wash vinyl liner or fiberglass pools, as the strong chemicals would permanently destroy those materials. During our initial site visit, we will carefully inspect your pool's surface to ensure it is thick and healthy enough to withstand the acid washing process.

How a Pool Acid Wash Visit Works

A highly controlled process that requires precision and safety.

Draining

We safely pump out all the old water and remove any remaining debris or sludge from the bottom of the pool.

Application

Wearing full protective gear, our technicians apply the acid mixture to the walls and floor, scrubbing tough stains.

Neutralizing

We immediately rinse the walls and apply a neutralizing agent to stop the acid from etching too deeply into the plaster.

Cleanup & Refill

We pump out the neutralized wastewater puddle from the deep end and begin filling the pool with fresh water.

Is Your Plaster Safe to Wash?

Acid washing is a powerful tool, but it is not a cure-all. Because the acid physically dissolves a thin layer of the plaster to remove the stain, it inherently weakens the surface. If your plaster is already over 15 years old, severely pitted, or showing the grey gunite shell underneath, an acid wash is not recommended.

We believe in honest assessments. During our free walkthrough, we will evaluate your plaster's thickness and condition. If an acid wash will damage your pool, we will tell you directly and discuss alternatives, such as a localized chlorine bath or recommending a full replastering.
