Pool Stains! A pool owner’s nemesis. You scrub. Your pool guy scrubs. But still the pool stains remain. Better living through modern chemistry? No, neither extra chlorine nor muriatic acid, poured into your pool water, will erase those annoying pool stains. You protest that your pool is not very old and besides you had it acid washed recently and surely it doesn't need it again.
Alas, there are pool guys who oversell acid washing. It is a costly procedure and while it does make your pool look “good as new” it also shortens your pool’s life faster than a teen driver ages a parent.
Acid washing is a procedure that involves draining your pool then applying an acid that removes the pool stains by eroding a layer of the plaster. It is very abrasive and damages your pool surface. The newly revealed undercoat does look fantastic BUT you just peeled a layer off your pool and this does reduce the life of your pool surface.
If you decide to have your pool acid washed:
1) Be sure to hire licensed, experienced pool professionals.
2) Start to set aside money now for a resurfacing, acid washing speeds your need for a new pool surface.
Pool Stains can be removed by acid washing!!
