Over time, even well-maintained pools develop staining, calcium scale, and mineral deposits that regular cleaning can't remove. An acid wash strips away the top layer of plaster or pebble surface, revealing the clean, bright surface underneath. It's like a deep facial for your pool.
Yuma's extremely hard water — often 400+ ppm calcium hardness straight from the tap — means scale buildup is a fact of life here. An acid wash every 3–5 years removes accumulated calcium deposits, algae staining, metal stains from copper or iron in the water, and general discoloration.
The process involves draining your pool completely, applying a dilute muriatic acid solution section by section, scrubbing the surface, and rinsing thoroughly. We then refill, balance the chemistry, and your pool looks years younger.
What You Get
Surface Stain Removal
Algae stains, metal discoloration, and organic staining are dissolved and scrubbed away from plaster and pebble surfaces.
Calcium Deposit Cleaning
Heavy calcium scale along the waterline and on the pool floor is chemically dissolved — essential for Yuma's hard water.
Plaster Restoration
The acid wash reveals fresh plaster beneath years of buildup, restoring your pool's original bright, clean appearance.
Drain & Refill Service
Complete pool drain, acid wash treatment, thorough rinse, refill with fresh water, and full chemical balancing.
Why Yuma Homeowners Need This
Yuma tap water is among the hardest in Arizona, with calcium hardness levels that would be considered extreme in most of the country. This mineral-heavy water leaves white scale deposits on pool surfaces, tile, and equipment. Without periodic acid washing, these deposits become permanent and can damage plaster. Most Yuma pools benefit from an acid wash every 3–5 years to stay looking their best.
