Dispelling the myths around acid-washing concrete swimming pools.
Question - I have read that it is better to use chemicals to remove staining without draining the pool and that draining and acid washing a pool will damage it. Is this true?
Answer - This is not true, and if the acid wash is done properly, it will remove far more staining than any expensive chemical pack. The argument is that acid will damage the pool. Well, what exactly do you think is in these expensive chemical packs? It wouldn't be an acid, would it?? Before heading down this path, ask what the active ingredient is. You are generally still using an acid-base in chemical kits to remove staining when your pool is full of water.
Question - Isn't it cheaper to use a chemical pack to remove staining from my pool rather than draining it to do an acid wash?
Answer - You might think you are saving money, but after you use these chemical packs (sometimes multiple times), you also have to rebalance your pool. The only extra cost in a drain and acid wash is the water which is generally around $200 for the average size pool.
Question - Can I use my pool straight after an acid wash?
Answer - Yes. Unlike treating your pool with chemicals to remove staining. Acid washing is instant, with no downtime to rebalance your old water. There is also no waiting for your old pool water to be safe enough to swim again. Drain, Wash and Swim.
Question - Will my pool pop out of the ground if I empty it?
Answer – No. This can only happen if you don’t have a hydrostatic valve. This is the white plug-looking device in the deep end of your pool, which all pools these days are required to have. When draining, a hydrostatic valve relieves pressure if groundwater is present under the pool's concrete shell.
Question - Will acid washing my pool remove too much concrete around the pebbles of my pebblecrete?
Answer - No. The layer of concrete being washed away is less than half a millimetre leaving more than enough concrete to bind the pebbles in the pebblecrete surface. The acid mixture is diluted.
