Brighten stained or dull plaster with a drained acid wash when the surface is still sound.
(442) 999-8698An acid wash removes a thin layer of the plaster surface, taking stains, algae residue, and scale with it. On a pool whose finish is still smooth and well bonded, it can make a big visual difference without the cost of resurfacing.
Acid washing removes material each time, so it is not a fix for worn-out plaster. We will tell you honestly whether your pool is a good candidate.

How the Process Works

Pool Acid Wash & Stain Removal FAQs
How often can a pool be acid washed?
Sparingly. Each wash removes some plaster, so it is best used occasionally, not as routine maintenance.
Will an acid wash fix rough plaster?
No. Roughness usually means the surface is worn or etched, and an acid wash can make that worse. Rough plaster typically calls for resurfacing.
