A Closer Look
Bead Blasting
Bead blasting is an effective cleaning technique used to remove calcium deposits and other build-ups from pool tiles without damaging the tile surface. This method involves propelling fine beads at high velocity towards the tiles to gently yet effectively scrub the surface clean. It’s particularly suited for ceramic, porcelain, and glass tiles, ensuring that they regain their original luster without any abrasion damage. The process typically takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on the pool size and degree of buildup.
Acid Washing
Acid washing is a deep cleaning solution for plaster-based pool surfaces that have become stained or discolored over time. This process involves draining your pool and applying a diluted acid solution to the walls and floor. The acid helps remove stubborn stains, algae growth, and calcium deposits, revealing a cleaner, more vibrant surface. Acid washing is recommended for older pools that require a refresh and can significantly extend the life of your pool by preventing long-term damage caused by contaminants. This method is performed less frequently than bead blasting, as it involves more extensive preparation and recovery processes for your pool.
Salt Blasting
Salt blasting is similar to bead blasting but uses coarse salt instead of beads. This method is especially gentle on delicate tile surfaces and is ideal for saltwater pools where chemical balance is crucial. Salt blasting effectively removes scaling and mineral deposits while being environmentally friendly, as the salt dissolves naturally without harming the pool’s ecosystem. This method is also effective for other mineral-heavy water features and can help maintain the aesthetic and structural integrity of various surfaces.
Longevity and Maintenance
Post-cleaning, the longevity of your pool’s cleanliness depends significantly on regular maintenance and water chemistry management. We recommend routine monitoring of pH and calcium levels to prevent new deposits. Following our cleaning services, we provide specific guidelines tailored to your pool’s needs to ensure that your pool remains pristine for as long as possible.
