Pool Acid Wash Services in Jacksonville
Every acid wash job our crew handles to bring your plaster back to life.
Full Drain Acid Wash
We drain the pool, apply the acid wash to the plaster, and scrub the surface to strip away the stained top layer. The result is a brighter, cleaner plaster that looks fresh again without a full replaster.
Stain Removal
We target algae, metal, and mineral stains that regular cleaning cannot reach. The acid lifts the stain out of the plaster so your pool looks clean and bright instead of dark and patchy.
Surface Prep and Scrub
We scrub the entire plaster surface during the wash to make sure the acid works evenly. A thorough scrub means no streaks and no missed spots, just a uniform bright finish.
No-Drain Acid Wash
For lighter surface staining, we can lower the pH in the full pool to lift some discoloration without a drain. We tell you honestly if your stains need the full drained wash instead.
Plaster Condition Check
We inspect your plaster age and thickness before we start, because acid washing removes a thin layer each time. If your plaster is too thin, we tell you straight and suggest a replaster instead.
Refill and Balance
After the wash, we refill the pool and balance the water chemistry from scratch so you start with a clean, stable base. A fresh balance protects your new surface and your equipment.
Acids and Products We Use
We use muriatic acid for our pool acid wash services, which is the standard for stripping stained plaster without damaging the surface underneath. We mix it to the right strength for your plaster age and condition, because a mix that is too strong on old plaster can thin it past safe limits. We also use a neutralizing agent on the waste water before it leaves your property, so the acid never harms your lawn, your driveway, or the storm drain.
For the refill and balance, we use professional-grade chlorine, balancers, and stain preventers from trusted names like Leslie's, BioGuard, and HASA. A fresh acid wash leaves the plaster open to new staining if the water is not balanced right away, so we set your chemistry from the first fill. If your pool also needs regular care after the wash, you can learn about our pool cleaning service to keep that fresh surface looking good.
How a Pool Acid Wash Visit Works
Four steps from assessment to a bright, balanced pool.
We Assess the Plaster
We look at your plaster age, thickness, and the type of stains before we agree to a wash. If the plaster is too thin or the stains need a different fix, we tell you straight and suggest the right path.
We Send a Written Quote
Before any work, we send a clear written quote for the drain, the acid wash, and the refill. You review it and approve everything first, with no pressure and no surprise charges.
We Wash the Surface
We drain the pool, apply the acid wash, and scrub the entire plaster surface by hand. We neutralize the waste water so it is safe to leave your property, then rinse the surface clean.
We Refill and Balance
We refill the pool and balance the water chemistry from scratch so you start with a clean, stable base. We check the chlorine, pH, and alkalinity before we hand the pool back to you.
Warning Signs You Need a Pool Acid Wash
If you notice any of these, your plaster may be due for a wash.
- Your plaster has dark algae stains that brushing and chlorine will not lift
- You see yellow, brown, or green discoloration on the walls or floor
- Your pool went green and the stains stayed after the water cleared
- Your plaster looks dull and aged even though your chemistry is in range
What Is Included in a Pool Acid Wash
A pool acid wash is a full surface refresh, not a quick rinse. We drain the pool, apply the acid wash to the plaster, scrub the entire surface by hand, and neutralize the waste water before it leaves your property. Then we refill the pool and balance the water chemistry from scratch so you start with a clean, stable base. You get a brighter plaster surface without the cost of a full replaster, and the stains that regular cleaning could not reach are gone.
Because every pool is different, we give a free written quote after seeing your situation, no pressure. The quote covers the drain, the wash, the refill, and the balance, so you know the full picture before any work starts. If your plaster is too thin for a wash, we tell you straight and suggest a replaster instead. You can also pair the wash with regular pool cleaning service so the fresh surface stays bright longer.
