If your pool has turned green and you want to get rid of the algae, you will need to call a pool cleaning company to come over and perform an acid wash for your pool. This is a popular way to clean your pool, but it is not as cheap as it used to be. An acid wash is not necessary if you have a saltwater pool.

An acid wash is performed to remove calcium and other minerals that have accumulated in your pool. As these minerals build up, they can start to turn your pool a cloudy color and cause scaling.  This process involves adding acid and other chemicals to your pool water and then using a brushing machine to expel the dirt and debris from the walls of the pool.

An acid wash is necessary in some circumstances. This process can be done by hand or with a machine. It may be necessary to acid wash to reduce stain, to remove contaminants, or to improve the shine and finish of tile and grout.  Acid washing should be done with care. Some steps need to be taken before, during, and after the process to ensure the pool is not damaged and remains safe.  In order to do this, you need to know what to expect at each stage.

The process is pretty straight forward, you need a pool cleaning service to come out and bring the right mixture of chemicals to your pool. A pool cleaning service will run the pool just like a normal cleaning service with the addition of the acid wash mixture. There are a few different ways that a pool can be acid washed, the most common method is to use a brush. A pool cleaning service will get a pump and pump a mixture of acid, water and air onto the pool surface while using a high-pressure brush to scrub the pool. The acid in the mix breaks down the buildup on the pool surface and the brush helps to wash the gunk into the filter for easy cleaning.
