When is an Acid Wash Warranted?
Acid washing is typically reserved for aggressive cosmetic restoration. It is the go-to solution when your plaster has accumulated heavy mineral deposits, widespread metal staining, or organic discoloration that regular maintenance and shock treatments cannot remove. Think of it as a “reset button” for your pool’s surface.
Traditional vs No Drān®Acid Washing
Historically, a traditional acid wash required completely draining the pool to scrub the surface with harsh acid—a process that wastes thousands of gallons of water and risks structural damage to your plaster or pool shell.
A No Drān® acid wash achieves similar results by adding specific stain-fighting agents directly to the water. This method uses your pool’s body of water to lift stains safely, evenly, and effectively—eliminating the dangers and costs associated with draining your pool. The result is a smoother, more even look for your pool’s surface.
