Coronel Pools removes stubborn stains, algae, and mineral deposits with professional acid wash treatments for homeowners across Mesa and the East Valley.
An acid wash strips away the thin top layer of plaster to remove deep stains and mineral deposits that regular cleaning cannot touch. It brings old pools back to life.
Acid dissolves rust stains, copper staining, calcium deposits, and organic discoloration that has soaked into the plaster over years of use.
For pools with severe algae that will not go away, an acid wash kills and removes algae spores embedded in the plaster surface.
Hard water leaves calcium scale lines and discoloration that brushing cannot remove. Acid wash dissolves those deposits and reveals fresh plaster underneath.
The acid removes a very thin layer of plaster along with the stains, giving the pool a fresher, brighter appearance. It is like a facelift for an aging pool.
We drain the pool completely, prep the surface, and protect surrounding areas from splash and runoff. Safety is a priority during every acid wash.
After the acid treatment, we neutralize the surface, rinse everything thoroughly, and dispose of the waste water properly and according to local regulations.
Not every stained pool needs an acid wash. Light staining often responds to a chlorine wash or a dedicated stain treatment product. We only recommend an acid wash when the stains are too deep for other methods to remove. An acid wash does remove a thin layer of plaster, so it is not something you want to do every year. We help you decide whether it is the right choice for your pool.
The best candidates for an acid wash are pools with severe staining from years of neglect, pools that sat empty and collected heavy algae, and pools with deep calcium or copper staining that will not budge with normal cleaning. If your pool falls into one of these categories, an acid wash can transform it dramatically.
Every visit follows a clear process so you know what to expect.
We drain the pool completely, protect surrounding surfaces, and prep the walls and floor for the acid application. This takes careful planning and execution.
We apply the acid solution with brushes, working in small sections from top to bottom. We watch the reaction and rinse each section before moving on.
After the acid wash, we neutralize the entire surface, give it a final rinse, refill the pool, and start the rebalancing process. Your pool looks like new again.
If you notice any of these, it is time to call us.
