Acid Wash

Pool Acid Washing

What is Acid Washing

With our great climate, beautiful water, sunlight, and warm summer days, how lucky are you to be a Florida pool homeowner. Of course having the elements and exposure to the sun adds complexity to pool care. Many people neglect pools for repeated periods of time and others multiple days or weeks in a row. For whatever the reason: the home seller stops pool care once under contract, transient owners, foreclosures, lack of care, an acid wash can be a useful part of the steps to bring the pool back into proper balance.

Done With Care

Acid washing is a big deal and should only be done in certain pool care situations. When it is necessary to acid wash your swimming pool investment, it must be done in a proper and safe manner. We have seen many pools that were incorrectly acid washed. The process is dangerous to the pool care individuals performing the task, can be damaging to the pool surface if done incorrectly, and can be harmful to your home environment.

Why Use Acid Washing?

The reason to perform acid washing to a swimming pool, spa, or jacuzzi is to exfoliate and remove oxidized metals, algae stains, and foreign particles. In less common circumstances it is used to remove harmful chemicals that have built up on the aggregate (for example, you can only acid wash concrete pools). In this era of the foreclosure home it will be difficult for the banks to fix so many damaged pools for lack of care in a timely matter. With the power of our acid wash solution, we can bring it back-to-life!
