What Are Chloride and Acid Washes?
Deep Cleaning Solutions for Stained or Dull Pool Surfaces
Chloride and acid washes are specialized pool cleaning techniques used to remove stubborn stains, discoloration, and algae buildup from pool surfaces. These methods involve the careful use of chemicals, such as hydrochloric acid, to strip away layers of grime and reveal the clean, bright plaster underneath. While often used as a last resort for heavily stained pools, they are one of the most effective methods for restoring the aesthetic and health of your pool.
At Fresh Pools and Spa, our team follows a detailed and safe process to perform these washes without compromising the integrity of your pool’s surface. We tailor every treatment to your pool’s specific needs, ensuring long-lasting results and minimized risk. This deep-cleaning option is especially beneficial for older pools or those exposed to extreme environmental conditions that contribute to buildup.
Restore Your Pool’s Surface with Confidence
Choosing a professional acid or chloride wash can dramatically improve your pool’s appearance. These methods remove mineral stains, organic deposits, and black algae that typical cleaning can’t touch. Once completed, your pool surface will look significantly brighter and feel smoother, making it more inviting and hygienic.
Beyond aesthetics, these washes help extend the life of your pool’s interior. When left untreated, organic growth and mineral scaling can penetrate plaster and cause deterioration over time. A scheduled wash acts as a preventative maintenance tool to keep your pool looking and performing its best.
When Is a Chloride or Acid Wash Recommended?
Chloride and acid washes aren’t needed frequently—but there are clear signs it may be time for one. If your pool has dark stains, murky discoloration, or persistent algae blooms that don’t respond to standard cleaning, a chemical wash may be the solution. These signs suggest that buildup has embedded into the pool’s plaster, requiring more than just a surface scrub.
Pools that have been sitting unused for long periods or those exposed to hard water and frequent chemical imbalances may also benefit greatly from a chemical wash. Over time, calcium deposits and metals like copper and iron settle into plaster and tile, dulling the pool’s overall look.
While these washes are highly effective, they should only be done by trained professionals. Misusing these chemicals can cause surface damage or safety risks. Our experienced technicians handle every step with precision and care, using industry-grade safety practices to protect your pool and your home.
