Restore Your Pool’s Surface with Professional Acid Washing by Precision Pools & Landscape
Over time, even a well-maintained pool can show stains, discoloration, algae marks, and mineral buildup. Normal brushing and chemical balancing may not fully remove them. When your pool surface looks dull, blotchy, or worn, an acid wash can help restore a cleaner, brighter look.
At Precision Pools & Landscape, we provide professional pool acid wash service for homeowners throughout Memphis and Shelby County. Our team uses a careful, controlled approach to remove tough surface stains, calcium buildup, and embedded discoloration. We also help refresh the overall look of your pool. After an acid wash, many homeowners choose to pair it with our pool tile cleaning for a complete, refreshed look that removes unsightly calcium buildup.
If your pool has lost its clean finish or still looks stained after routine maintenance, an acid wash may be the right next step. Our goal is to help restore the appearance of your plaster surface and give your pool a cleaner, more renewed look.

Pool Acid Wash in Memphis, TN
What Is Acid Washing?
A pool acid wash is a deep restoration service used to remove tough stains, discoloration, algae scars, and calcium buildup from plaster surfaces. When regular pool care is no longer enough to improve the look of the interior, this process can help reveal a cleaner, brighter finish underneath.
This service is often the right choice for pools with:
widespread staining or discoloration
calcium scale buildup
algae scars left behind after a green pool event
a dull or uneven plaster appearance
embedded residue that brushing will not remove
Acid washing is not part of routine maintenance. It is a more advanced restorative treatment used when the pool surface needs a stronger reset.
Signs Your Memphis TN Pool May Need an Acid Wash
Not every pool needs an acid wash, but there are clear signs that it may be time to consider one.
You may need acid wash service if you notice:
stains that remain after brushing and chemical treatment
calcium buildup along the walls, steps, or waterline
dark algae marks that still show after cleanup
a blotchy, faded, or uneven plaster appearance
a pool surface that looks older and duller than it should
buildup that has been developing over several seasons
a neglected pool that needs a more complete reset
If your pool still looks worn or stained after normal service and cleanup efforts, an acid wash may be the next step toward restoring its appearance.
Our Acid Washing Process
At Precision Pools & Landscape, we follow a careful process designed to restore your pool surface while treating your equipment and property with care.
1. Pool Drain and Surface Inspection
We begin by draining the pool and clearing any remaining debris. Once the surface is fully exposed, we inspect the plaster for staining, wear, rough spots, and any visible issues that could affect treatment.
2. Surface Preparation
Before the acid wash begins, we prepare the pool and surrounding area so the work can be completed safely and correctly. This includes checking the condition of the surface and making sure the pool is ready for treatment.
3. Controlled Acid Wash Application
We apply the acid solution carefully and evenly across the plaster surface, focusing on areas with visible staining, scale, and discoloration. The goal is to remove buildup and improve the look of the finish without taking an overly aggressive approach.
4. Rinsing and Neutralization
After the treatment is complete, we rinse the pool thoroughly and neutralize the surface as needed. This helps stop the acid reaction and prepares the pool for refill.
5. Refill and Initial Water Balancing
Once the pool is cleaned and ready, we refill it and perform an initial chemical balance to help protect the refreshed surface and support a better start after treatment.
Why DIY Acid Washing Is Risky
Acid washing is not a simple weekend project. The process involves strong chemicals, surface judgment, and careful handling. If it is done incorrectly, it can damage the plaster, shorten the life of the finish, or create safety concerns.
Attempting a DIY acid wash can lead to:
unnecessary plaster damage
uneven results
surface etching
chemical exposure risks
damage to nearby equipment or materials
a pool that still needs professional correction afterward
Our team uses a controlled, professional approach so the work is handled safely and the results are as clean and effective as possible.
Acid Wash vs. Chlorine Wash
Some pools need an acid wash, while others may be better candidates for a chlorine wash or another cleaning method. The right option depends on what is actually affecting the pool surface.
An acid wash is typically best for:
mineral staining
calcium buildup
stubborn discoloration
deep surface dullness
algae scars left behind in plaster
A chlorine wash is often a better fit for:
organic contamination
recent algae outbreaks
sanitation related surface issues
pools that need cleaning without removing plaster
We inspect the pool first so we can recommend the right treatment based on the actual condition of the surface.
How Often Should a Pool Be Acid Washed?
Acid washing should not be done too often. Because it removes a very thin layer of plaster, it is considered a restorative service rather than a routine cleaning service.
For many plaster pools, an acid wash is only needed occasionally when the surface has significant staining or buildup that cannot be corrected through normal maintenance. The exact timing depends on the condition of the plaster, how the pool has been maintained, and whether the pool has dealt with scale, staining, or major algae issues.
If your pool surface is showing signs of wear, our team can inspect it and let you know whether an acid wash makes sense or if another treatment would be safer and more practical.
Who Benefits from Acid Washing?
Pool acid washing can be a strong option for homeowners who want to restore the appearance of a stained or neglected pool surface.
This service is especially helpful for:
homeowners preparing a property for sale
new homeowners who inherited a neglected pool
rental property owners who want a cleaner presentation
homeowners recovering from a severe algae event
pool owners dealing with years of staining or scale buildup
anyone wanting to refresh the look of an older plaster pool
When the pool surface looks tired, stained, or uneven, an acid wash can make a dramatic visual difference.
