Why Choose JNJ Pools ?

Making Pools Feel Like New Again

At JNJ Pools, we understand that over time, pool surfaces can develop stubborn stains, algae buildup, and mineral deposits that regular cleaning simply can’t remove. Our professional acid wash service provides a deep, transformative cleaning that strips away years of accumulated grime, revealing the beautiful, vibrant surface underneath. Our experienced technicians carefully drain your pool, then apply a specialized acid solution that penetrates deep into the plaster to dissolve calcium deposits, remove persistent stains, and eliminate embedded algae. We take extreme care to protect your pool’s integrity throughout the process, ensuring the acid wash is applied evenly and for just the right duration to achieve optimal results without damaging the underlying structure. The result is a pool that looks nearly as pristine as the day it was first filled, with a refreshed surface that sparkles in the sunlight.

Calcium scale, waterline buildup, and unsightly residue can make even the cleanest pool water look dingy and neglected. Our tile cleaning specialists use professional-grade equipment and techniques, including bead blasting and specialized chemical treatments, to safely remove all traces of buildup from your pool tiles without causing scratches or damage. We pay meticulous attention to detail, working along every inch of your waterline tile and decorative features to restore their original luster and color. Whether you have glass tile, ceramic, or natural stone, our team has the expertise to clean each material appropriately, ensuring your pool’s aesthetic appeal is fully restored and your investment is protected for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is acid washing and when does my pool need it?

Acid washing is a deep cleaning process that removes stubborn stains, algae buildup, and discoloration from pool plaster surfaces. This procedure involves draining the pool completely and applying a diluted acid solution to strip away the thin layer of plaster that harbors stains and mineral deposits. Your pool typically needs acid washing when regular chemical treatments and brushing fail to remove persistent staining, when the pool appears discolored or has a dull appearance, after severe algae infestations, or when calcium deposits have accumulated significantly. Most pools benefit from acid washing every five to seven years, though this timeline can vary based on usage, maintenance practices, and water chemistry. It’s important to note that acid washing removes a small layer of plaster, so it should only be performed when necessary to preserve the longevity of your pool’s surface.

How does professional tile cleaning differ from regular pool maintenance?

Professional tile cleaning goes far beyond the surface-level maintenance performed during routine pool service. While regular maintenance involves skimming, vacuuming, and basic chemical balancing, professional tile cleaning specifically targets the calcium scale, mineral deposits, and scum line that accumulate on pool tiles at the waterline. Professionals use specialized equipment such as bead blasting, pressure washing, or pumice stones along with professional-grade cleaning solutions to remove stubborn buildup that household cleaners cannot address. This service focuses on restoring the original appearance and luster of your pool tiles, which not only enhances aesthetics but also prevents long-term damage to the tile surface. Professional tile cleaning is typically performed annually or as needed, whereas regular pool maintenance is an ongoing weekly or bi-weekly service that maintains water quality and basic cleanliness.

Is acid washing safe for all types of pool surfaces?

Acid washing is not suitable for all pool surfaces and should only be performed on appropriate materials by trained professionals. This process is primarily designed for plaster or marcite pool finishes and can effectively clean these traditional surfaces without causing damage when done correctly. However, acid washing is not recommended for painted pools, fiberglass pools, vinyl-lined pools, or pebble-tec and aggregate finishes, as the acid can damage these materials, compromise their integrity, or void manufacturer warranties. For alternative surface types, different cleaning methods such as pressure washing, specialized cleaners, or gentle chemical treatments are more appropriate. Before scheduling an acid wash, it’s essential to identify your pool’s surface material and consult with a professional pool service provider who can recommend the safest and most effective cleaning method for your specific pool type.

How long does the acid washing process take and when can I use my pool again?

The complete acid washing process typically takes between two to four days from start to finish, though the actual acid application and neutralization may only take a few hours. The timeline includes draining the pool (which can take eight to twelve hours depending on pool size and drainage method), cleaning and acid washing the surface (three to six hours), neutralizing and rinsing the pool thoroughly (two to four hours), and refilling the pool (twelve to twenty-four hours depending on water pressure and pool volume). After refilling, you’ll need an additional twenty-four to forty-eight hours to balance the water chemistry, add necessary chemicals, and allow the filtration system to circulate and clear the water properly. Weather conditions can also impact the timeline, as acid washing should not be performed in rain or extreme temperatures. Most pool owners should plan for their pool to be out of service for approximately three to five days total to ensure the process is completed safely and the water is properly balanced before swimming.

What maintenance can I do to reduce the frequency of acid washing and professional tile cleaning?

Regular preventive maintenance can significantly extend the time between acid washes and professional tile cleaning services. Maintain proper water chemistry by testing and balancing pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness levels weekly, as imbalanced water is the primary cause of staining and scaling. Brush pool walls and tiles at least twice weekly to prevent buildup, paying special attention to the waterline where calcium deposits accumulate. Use a sequestering agent monthly to prevent mineral staining if you have hard water or fill your pool with well water. Address algae problems immediately with appropriate treatments before they become severe enough to stain the plaster. Keep your filtration system running adequately (eight to twelve hours daily) and clean or backwash filters regularly. Consider using a weekly enzyme treatment to break down oils and organic materials that contribute to scum lines. Additionally, shower before swimming to reduce body oils and lotions that create waterline buildup, and maintain proper water levels to ensure consistent circulation at the tile line. These proactive measures can help you extend the interval between professional deep cleaning services while keeping your pool looking cleaner year-round.
