✔ Persistent algae stains or heavy discoloration
✔ Mineral buildup, scale, or metal stains
An acid or chlorine wash is a specialty treatment that removes tough stains, scale and discoloration that regular cleaning can't fix. It's the go-to service for pools that need a true reset, like the dark, stained pool you inherited with a new house or the one that sat green for too long.
In Miami's heat and rain, pools can get away from you fast. Algae can leave stains behind even after the water clears, and minerals and metals slowly build up on the surface. Brushing won't remove that. A deep wash strips the stained top layer so the surface looks clean and bright again.
When we recommend it:
✔ Pools left untreated for long periods
✔ Preparing a pool for sale or after major repairs
Acid wash or chlorine wash?
They do different jobs. An acid wash is for mineral scale, metal stains and general dullness. A chlorine wash is for organic stains, like the dark marks algae and leaves leave behind. Some pools need a combination. We'll look at your pool and tell you which one fits, so you don't pay for more than you need.
What's included:
✔ Full pool drain (if appropriate)
✔ Surface wash with acid or chlorine solution
✔ Neutralization and safe disposal
✔ Water balance* and system restart after refill
*Salt and chelating agents are not included (if needed).
How it works
1. Inspection.
We look at your surface and the stains and confirm a wash is the right fix.
2. Drain.
If it's appropriate, we drain the pool fully.
3. Wash.
We treat the surface with an acid or chlorine solution, depending on the stains.
4. Neutralize.
We neutralize the wash water and dispose of it safely.
5. Refill and restart.
Once the pool is refilled, we balance the water and get your system running again.
Not every pool is a candidate. We'll inspect your surface first to make sure it's the right solution, and we'll walk you through the plan before we start, so you know what to expect.
Keep it looking this way
After a deep wash, steady weekly care is what keeps stains from coming back. Our weekly pool services cover water chemistry, brushing, vacuuming and equipment checks on a consistent schedule, with our No Missed Stop and No Green guarantees.
