Your home’s pool is an oasis that provides your friends and family with endless hours of fun and relaxation, but over time the exposure to elements, chemicals, and debris can take a toll on your pool’s appearance and overall health. A popular solution for restoring a pool’s sparkle and overall environment is an acid wash. This deep-cleaning process is designed to remove stains and buildup from the pool’s surface and system, which helps to keep your water crystal clear and fun to swim in! At Universal Pool Service, we’re proud to offer a wide range of pool services, including acid wash, so if you think you may need professional cleaning for your pool, here are some times to watch out for.

Stains, Discoloration on Your Pool Surfaces

Over years of use and exposure to sun and chemicals, stains from minerals, algae, and other substances can build up on the walls and floor of your pool. These stains may appear as dark spots, green or brown blemishes and swatches, or white calcium deposits. While regular pool maintenance can prevent some of these stains, an acid wash is the most effective way to remove them after years of build up, especially if they’re stubborn and have resisted other forms of cleaning.

Varying Textures In Your Pool

If you notice that the surfaces in your pool have become more rough or more slippery, this may be a sign of built-up contaminants that need to be washed away. These contaminants can make your pool less enjoyable to spend time in and even dangerous for swimmers, causing slips, cuts, or even chemical burns. An acid wash can help to smooth out the surface of your pool and make it safer and inviting once again!

Cloudy or Murky Water

A tell-tale sign that your pool needs an acid wash is cloudy or murky water that’s usually caused by a buildup of algae or organic matter. This buildup can decrease the effectiveness of your pool’s filtration system, and an acid wash can rid your pool of these contaminants while resetting your filtration system’s capabilities.

Grime or Dirt Buildup

Even with regular cleaning, there may be areas of your pool that are hard to reach or clean thoroughly on your own. These nooks and crannies can gather grime or dirt over time, affecting the overall cleanliness of your pool. If you notice a significant change in your pool’s color or visible spots of dirt, algae, or grime, this is a clear sign that algae or other contaminants have taken over and built up.

An acid wash from Universal Pool Services can eliminate these issues and restore your pool’s original color, cleanliness, and sparkle! Learn more about acid wash services from our team and contact us today to book!
