Pool Tile Cleaning & Calcium/Scale Removal
Remove stubborn calcium buildup and restore your pool tile to like-new condition.
That White Line Is Not Dirt
If you see a white or gray crusty line along your pool tile, that is calcium scale buildup. It happens to almost every pool in Prescott, AZ because our water is naturally hard. The minerals in your water stick to tile surfaces, especially right at the waterline where evaporation is highest. Over time, this buildup gets thicker and harder, making your beautiful pool look old and neglected.
Regular brushing and chemicals do not remove calcium scale. You need professional tile cleaning with specialized equipment and techniques. We use methods that safely remove years of buildup without damaging your tile or grout. After we finish, your tile looks brand new again, and your whole pool looks cleaner and more inviting.
How We Clean Your Pool Tile
We use professional-grade methods to remove calcium and scale without harming your pool surfaces. Depending on how thick the buildup is and what type of tile you have, we choose the best approach:
- •Bead blasting: Uses tiny glass beads to gently blast away calcium without scratching tile
- •Pressure washing: High-pressure water removes lighter buildup quickly
- •Chemical treatment: Special acids dissolve stubborn scale safely
- •Hand scraping: For delicate areas or detailed tile work
We protect your pool water during cleaning and clean up all debris when we finish. The process typically takes 2 to 4 hours depending on your pool size and how much buildup you have. Most customers are amazed at how much brighter and cleaner their pool looks after tile cleaning.
For best results, combine tile cleaning with our complete pool cleaning services in Prescott to keep everything looking great year-round.
Keeping Tile Clean After We Remove Scale
After we clean your tile, you want it to stay clean as long as possible. Calcium will come back eventually because it is in your water, but you can slow it down significantly. The key is maintaining proper water chemistry, especially calcium hardness levels.
Regular brushing during weekly pool maintenance helps prevent new buildup from getting thick. When you catch it early, brushing can keep your tile clean between professional cleanings. Most pools need professional tile cleaning every 1 to 2 years in Prescott, depending on water hardness and how well chemistry is maintained.
We can also treat your water to reduce scaling. Some products help prevent calcium from sticking to surfaces in the first place. During your tile cleaning visit, we check your water chemistry and recommend changes if needed. Prevention always costs less than dealing with heavy buildup later. This same approach helps with preventing algae problems too.
