Pool Acid Wash Services in Fair Oaks Ranch
A highly specialized process to safely rejuvenate your pool's interior surface.
Complete Pool Draining
We safely pump out all existing water using submersible pumps, carefully managing the hydrostatic pressure to protect your pool shell.
Debris Removal
Once drained, we manually remove all accumulated sludge, leaves, and heavy debris from the bottom of the pool before applying any chemicals.
Targeted Acid Application
We apply a carefully mixed muriatic acid solution to the walls and floor, etching away the thin stained layer to reveal fresh plaster.
Stain Brushing
While the acid is active, we aggressively brush the surface to ensure even removal of mineral deposits, copper stains, and embedded algae.
Neutralization
We neutralize the acid wash runoff completely before pumping it out, ensuring the wastewater is safe and compliant with local environmental guidelines.
Refill & Rebalance
After a final rinse, we begin the refill process. Once full, we completely rebalance the water chemistry to protect the freshly exposed plaster.
Materials We Work With
An acid wash is highly effective on traditional white plaster, colored plaster, and pebble finishes like PebbleTec. We adjust our acid-to-water ratios specifically for your pool's surface material to ensure we remove stains without causing pitting or excessive wear to the aggregate.
Please note that we do not acid wash vinyl liners or fiberglass pools, as the harsh chemicals will destroy these materials. For those surfaces, we offer specialized non-acid stain treatments and deep cleaning alternatives.

Acid Washing

Neutralize & Refill
We neutralize the wastewater, pump it out safely, and begin refilling the pool. Once full, we return to balance the water chemistry.
Is an Acid Wash Right for Your Pool?
An acid wash actually removes a microscopic layer of your plaster to reveal the clean material underneath. Because of this, it is not a treatment you should do every year. Most pools can safely undergo an acid wash every 5 to 7 years.
If your plaster is already very old, thin, or showing the gunite beneath, an acid wash may cause more harm than good, and a full replaster might be necessary. We give a free written quote after seeing your situation, no pressure. We will honestly assess your surface and recommend the best path forward.
