Expert Acid Washing in El Paso, TX

Acid washing removes stubborn stains, algae staining, and mineral scale from pool plaster and concrete surfaces. El Paso homeowners face a specific challenge: the city's water supply is classified as moderately hard to hard, meaning calcium and magnesium levels run high. High evaporation rates from the desert heat concentrate those minerals further, leaving white crusty deposits and dark stains on pool walls and floors. Routine brushing and chemical balancing alone will not lift those deposits once they bond to the plaster. Acid washing strips the top layer of the surface to expose clean plaster underneath. The result is a visibly brighter pool interior and a surface that holds water chemistry more predictably. Four Seasons Pool Service handles the drain, acid application, neutralization, and refill prep so the process is done safely and completely. If your El Paso pool looks dull, stained, or coated in scale, acid washing is the right starting point before any resurfacing work.

Acid Washing FAQ

Common questions about acid washing in El Paso, TX.

Acid washing is the right call when stains, algae discoloration, or calcium scale remain after a standard deep clean. If brushing and chemical shocking do not clear the surface, El Paso pools typically need acid washing to restore the plaster.

Acid washing removes a thin layer of plaster, which is normal and expected. Most El Paso pool surfaces can handle multiple acid washes over the life of the plaster before resurfacing becomes necessary.

White or gray crusty deposits on pool walls and the waterline are a strong sign of calcium scale from hard water. El Paso's water is classified as moderately hard to hard, making this type of buildup very common.

Yes, acid washing requires the pool to be fully drained first. Our team in El Paso handles the drain process as part of the service.

Yes, acid washing is one of the most effective ways to clear green algae staining and black algae marks from plaster surfaces. El Paso pools exposed to long, hot summers are especially prone to these stain types.

Most pool professionals recommend acid washing every five to seven years, depending on water chemistry and surface condition. El Paso's hard water and high evaporation rates may mean your pool needs attention sooner than pools in softer-water regions.

I’ve been with Four Seasons for three years, and they’ve always gone above and beyond to make sure my pool’s clean and working properly. More than the regular pool and filter cleanings (which they always take their time in doing), they’ve done everything from replacing old PVC pipes, installing a new pool heater, and today - tile blasting! Their prices are fair and their staff is knowledgeable, professional and kind. I tried a few other places before I found Four Seasons, and they’re by far the best!

Mike and the Four Seasons team are incredible. They always help me out of a jam (amateur pool cleaner here) and I also do all my equipment maintenance with them. I have purchased everything from a full DE filter system, a multi port valve, a variable speed pump, an LED wall light and more. Recently they helped me with some wicked algae and a fantastic acid wash. I just could not imagine owning and maintaining my pool without these guys. Always on time. Remarkable communication. Very fair pricing. Just the best!!!

Honestly, between work and caring for our two kids, keeping up with the pool maintenance was the last thing we had time for. After my neighbor recommended them I gave Four Seasons Pool Service a call. The office manager was great. She understood exactly what I needed—basically, I just wanted someone to take over so I didn’t have to worry about it—and they actually communicated all the details to the technician. The tech arrived knowing exactly what the setup was and got right to work. Now, the pool looks better than it ever has. Having this peace of mind is worth every penny. Huge time saver. Thanks guys

Our pool heater went bad and we purchased a new one with Four Seasons Pool Service. They were great all around, from selecting the right pool heater, assisted with the financing, and superior workmanship installing the new heater. Pablo (the tech we worked with) was professional, knowledgeable, and quite helpful explaining everything about the installation, as well as providing helpful recommendations in maintaining our pool. Great representative for their business. Overall great experience. Highly recommend!
