Full Drain Acid Washing

The ultimate reset for severely stained and scaled pool plaster.

A Complete Surface Reset

When years of hard water, copper algaecides, and organic debris leave your entire pool looking dull, brown, or gray, spot treatments won't cut it. A full drain acid wash acts like a deep chemical peel, stripping away the porous, stained top layer of plaster to expose the fresh, bright material underneath.

Safe Draining Protocols

Florida's high water table makes draining a pool extremely risky. We assess the groundwater levels and pull the hydrostatic relief valves in the main drain to equalize pressure, ensuring your pool shell doesn't lift out of the ground.

The Acid Peel Process

While the pool is empty, we apply a carefully diluted muriatic acid mixture to the walls and floor. The acid reacts instantly with calcium scale and stains, lifting them off the surface before we neutralize the wastewater and pump it out.

Refill & Rebalance

Once the surface is neutralized and rinsed clean, we begin the refill process. Because you are starting with entirely fresh tap water, we provide a complete chemical balancing service to establish the proper cyanuric acid, calcium hardness, and pH levels to protect your newly brightened plaster.
