What to Expect During an Acid Wash Service: A Timeline for Homeowners

Are stubborn mineral deposits, heavy algae, or persistent stains making your pool surface look dull and aged? Over time, standard pool care can only do so much against hard water scale. When everyday brushing isn’t enough, a professional acid wash service from Universal Pool Service in Goodyear, AZ, is the ultimate restart button to restore your plaster’s original brilliance. Here is a step-by-step look at what you can expect during the process. Call today.

Complete Pool Drain and Surface Prep 

Your acid wash service begins with a complete pool clean out. Our technicians will pump out all the water safely into proper local drainage access points. Once drained, we hose down the empty shell to clear away loose debris, leaves, and surface mud, exposing the underlying plaster and preparing it for deep treatment.

Direct Chemical Application and Scrubbing 

Next comes the core treatment. A precise mixture of diluted muriatic acid and water is systematically applied to small sections of the walls and floor. The chemical reaction strips away a micro-layer of plaster, lifting set-in algae roots, rust spots, and copper stains. Our team scrubs every inch before neutralizing the acid with sodium bicarbonate and rinsing it away to protect your plaster integrity.

Refilling and Water Balancing 

Once neutralized, we thoroughly wash and pump out the remaining residue. Fresh water is turned on immediately to protect the bare plaster from sunburn and cracking under the harsh Arizona heat. As your pool refills, our expert pool maintenance company in Goodyear balances the water chemistry—adding critical start-up chemicals to safeguard your freshly restored surface.
