Acid
Washing

Erase years of stains, scale, and algae damage. Our professional acid washing process exposes a fresh layer of plaster, making your pool look brand new again.

The Ultimate Reset

Bring Your Plaster Back to Life

Over the years, pool plaster absorbs minerals from hard water, rust from metal fixtures, and organic tannins from leaves and algae. Eventually, no amount of brushing or chlorine will remove these deep-set stains.

An acid wash is like a chemical peel for your swimming pool. By draining the pool and applying a controlled acid wash, we dissolve the top microscopic layer of plaster that holds all the dirt and stains, revealing the bright, clean, original plaster underneath. It is the single most effective way to restore an aging pool without the massive expense of a full remodel.

  • Removes deep-set algae and organic stains
  • Eliminates rust, copper, and hard water scale
  • A fraction of the cost of a full re-plastering
  • Requires professional handling for safety & results
Professional acid washing

Our Process

Complete Pool Draining

We safely drain your pool using high-volume submersible pumps, ensuring the water is routed properly to avoid flooding or property damage.

Debris & Sludge Removal

Once drained, we manually shovel out any leaves, dirt, sludge, and organic debris that has accumulated at the bottom of the deep end.

Strategic Acid Application

We mix a precise ratio of muriatic acid and water and apply it evenly across the plaster, literally burning off the microscopic top layer of stained plaster.

Neutralization Wash

To protect the plaster from over-etching, we immediately neutralize the acid with soda ash and thoroughly rinse the entire pool surface, pumping out the wastewater.

Plaster Integrity Check

While the pool is empty, we perform a thorough inspection of the plaster and main drain covers, looking for any signs of delamination, cracks, or safety hazards.

Startup & Balancing

Once the pool is refilled with fresh water, we perform a complete chemical startup to balance the pH, alkalinity, hardness, and chlorine levels to protect your newly exposed plaster.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions from our neighbors in the Antelope Valley.

Acid washing is a highly effective deep-cleaning process that strips a microscopic layer of plaster from your pool's surface. It removes stubborn algae stains, hard water scaling, and discoloration that regular brushing cannot eliminate.
When performed by a licensed professional like AV Pool Pros, it is perfectly safe. However, because it removes a thin layer of plaster, it should only be done when absolutely necessary (typically every 3 to 5 years).
The entire process usually takes one to two days. It involves completely draining the pool, applying the acid wash, neutralizing the wastewater, and then immediately refilling the pool to protect the plaster.
Yes. We strictly neutralize and safely dispose of all acidic wastewater according to Palmdale and Lancaster environmental regulations, ensuring no harm to your landscaping or pets.
