How Using an Acid Solution Washing Your Pool Tiles?

Drain your pool. Remove debris like leaves and algae from the bottom of the pool once the water is drained. Then place your water hose at the deep-end side of the pool. Position it near the ledge so that the water will run over the tile when you turn it on. Wear protective clothing.

Because the acid solution emits noxious fumes and is harmful if it gets onto your skin and body, rubber boots, safety gloves and goggles, and a respirator with an acid approved filter are necessary. For extra precaution, wear a protective suit that is chemical-resistant.

 

Add 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of muriatic acid to 1 gallon of water in a bucket. You can use a plastic bucket. Make sure to slowly add the acid to the water and not the other way around. Because the acid will fizz and emit fumes when you pour it into the water, make sure you are wearing your respirator, goggles, gloves, and protective clothing. You can purchase muriatic acid and acid-resistant cleaning tools from your local pool maintenance store or online.

Apply the solution to the pool tile with an acid brush. Starting at the deep end of the pool, work the solution into the grout with the brush. Working on small sections at a time, scrub the flat rustic tile with an acid-resistant scrub brush. Once the calcium silicate scaling is removed, rinse the wall tile with water using the hose.

Alternatively, fill a watering can with the solution and use the can to pour it onto the pool tiles. Then use the acid-resistant scrub brush to clean the white tile. Repeat this process until all the tiles are cleaned. Add soda ash to the acidic solution at the bottom of the pool. Add 2 pounds (.9 kilograms) of soda ash for every gallon of acid. Do this once you are done cleaning all of the tiles. The soda ash neutralizes the acid so it can be safely removed from your pool.
