The average cost to acid wash a pool ranges from $178–$255, for a pool measuring 500 square feet, according to Improvenet. Most homeowners in the U.S. will typically pay $.28 per square foot when performing this thorough cleaning process.
How Much Does It Cost To Acid Wash A Pool?
Regardless of how new or old your outdoor pool may be, general maintenance is needed to keep it in the best shape possible. If you leave your pool unattended for a long period of time (generally the winter season), algae buildup and stains could begin to show up on the surface and/or walls. The algae can make your pool water slimy and difficult to see through. This is an obvious sign that a draining and acid wash is necessary.
A typical backyard pool is about 500 square feet, which costs as little as $178 to acid wash. This cost includes the hiring of a professional pool service, though. If you want to attempt to tackle this project yourself, then you’ll simply have to pay for the chemicals. The chemicals needed for an acid wash should cost an average of $30 total. A sump pump and protective clothing may be a worthwhile investment if acid washing by yourself.
Why Acid Wash A Pool?
Some pools will develop stains or discolored surfaces over time. Magnesium and copper stains, for instance, can turn plaster from white to a shade of blue. Black plaster pools could actually appear gray due to calcium deposits. Unfortunately, these stains are nearly impossible to remove by simply scrubbing. This is when acid washing is the right course of action. Most pools that have issues with algae growth or hard water can benefit from a full draining, anyway.
