What Is Acid Washing?
Acid washing is a deep-cleaning process that uses a diluted muriatic acid solution to strip away a thin layer of your pool’s surface, typically plaster or inground concrete. It’s one of the most effective ways to remove tough pool stains, like algae growth, calcium deposits, and mineral deposits from hard pool water or metals.
The acid wash process targets areas where regular pool maintenance can’t fully clean, helping restore your swimming pool to a cleaner, brighter, and more pristine condition. So, if your pool wall, bottom, or tile have lost their luster and you’ve tried scrubbing with a pool brush or acid brush with little success, an acid wash service might be the solution your pool needs.
When Does a Pool Need an Acid Wash?
Not sure if your York or Fort Mill pool needs an acid washing? Here are a few red flags:
- Stubborn stains on the pool surface that won’t lift with brushing
- Visible calcium deposits or mineral deposits along tile, plaster, or pool’s surface
- Green pool water appearance from long-standing algae growth
- Faded or dingy surface even after regular maintenance
- The pool looks aged, neglected, or has sat with stagnant water mixture for weeks

There’s a reason acid washing is a go-to service for neglected or heavily used pools. Here’s what makes it worth it:
- Restores Bright Surface Color: Brings back the crisp, clean white of your plaster pool.
- Removes Years of Buildup: Cuts through layers of mineral deposits, dirt, and chlorine residue.
