Drain-and-acid-wash service that strips algae stains, mineral deposits, and years of sun-baked grime off your pool surface — revealing the bright, clean finish underneath.
Phoenix pools take a beating: hard city water leaves mineral scale, summer algae blooms leave green and black staining, and years of chemicals slowly dull the surface. An acid wash is the reset button. We fully drain the pool, then apply a controlled acid solution that removes a paper-thin layer of the plaster surface — taking the stains, scale, and discoloration with it and exposing the bright, clean finish underneath.
It’s the single most dramatic improvement you can make to a stained but structurally sound pool, and it’s the right follow-up after a severe green pool where staining has set into the surface. Every job includes responsible draining per local disposal guidelines, careful neutralization and rinse-down, and startup water chemistry so your refilled pool starts balanced from day one.
Here’s the honest part most companies skip: every acid wash removes a thin layer of plaster, so it’s a treatment a surface can only take so many times. If your plaster is sound but stained — after a green pool rescue, years of hard-water scale, or heavy leaf tannins — an acid wash delivers a dramatic, affordable refresh. If your plaster is already thin, rough, or flaking, we’ll tell you straight and walk you through resurfacing options instead of taking your money for a wash that won’t last.
Real reviews from Phoenix Valley homeowners who trust Aqua Shine week after week.
Cody has always done a wonderful job for us for the last few years! Never had one complained about him. He has always done a high-quality job and leaving the pools and spas looking beautiful.
Evan & Tanner, this is for them. They both have been great over here! Evan has made it clear he knows his job. The sprinkler fountain is working after 2yrs of not, and the signs are all new and nice!
Reliable service. My pool always looks great
I have been using Aqua Shine Pool Services since I moved here several years ago and have been happy with the weekly service as well as repairs needed along the way. Most recently, Tanner helped me with my pool light and replaced a difficult old switch - now I can control the pool lights from inside the house. Thank you Tanner and everyone at Aqua Shine for great service!
I have had the pleasure of using Aqua Shine Pool Services for about 11 years. They have always been professional and responsive. When the light inside my pool burned out and the whole fixture needed replacing, technician Tanner evaluated it, got bid options, and installed it within 4 days. His expertise has been stellar over the years of caring for my pool.
Not sure an acid wash is the right call? If the water itself is green, start with green pool cleanup — and read our guide to calcium scale on Arizona pool tile to see what hard water leaves behind. If the surface is past saving, explore pool remodeling & resurfacing, and once it’s bright again, weekly pool cleaning keeps it that way.
