Acid Wash - or Drain and Clean
An acid wash - also known as a "drain and clean" - is needed when the floor, walls and steps of your pool have developed unsightly stains from the buildup of algae, minerals, chemicals rust and dirt, and often a combination of all of the above. When spots and staining cannot be removed through ordinary chemical balancing, filtering, vacuuming or brushing, an acid washing can do the trick.
HOw it Works
The pool will be completely drained and all surfaces will be cleaned with acid. In this process, the acid wash actually removes a very thin layer of your pools plaster, gunite or Pebble-Tec taking the algae, dirt, phosphate and other chemical stains with it. Once complete, your pool surfaces will almost literally be like new, having revealed an untouched layer of the material. For this same reason, however, acid washes should only be performed when necessary, in order to extend the life of your pool.
Once the process is complete your pool can be re-filled with water and will be ready for swimming enjoyment once again.
