Pool Tile Cleaning & Calcium/Scale Removal

Why Your Pool Tile Gets Dirty

That white crusty line on your pool tile is not just dirt. It is calcium scale, and it builds up over time from hard water, high pH levels, and minerals in your pool. Norwalk, CA has fairly hard water, which makes calcium buildup a common problem for pool owners in our area. The longer it sits, the harder it gets and the more difficult it is to remove.

You might try scrubbing it yourself with household cleaners, but that rarely works on serious buildup. Scale bonds tightly to tile surfaces and needs professional treatment to remove it completely without damaging your tile. Our pool tile cleaning service eliminates calcium deposits, removes waterline stains, and makes your tile look new again. When your tile is clean, your entire pool looks better and more inviting.

How We Remove Calcium and Scale Buildup

We use professional methods that remove buildup safely and effectively without harming your tile, grout, or pool surface. Here is what we do:

• •Bead Blasting: For heavy calcium deposits, we use specialized glass bead blasting equipment that gently removes scale without scratching or damaging tile surfaces. This is the most effective method for serious buildup.
• •Chemical Treatment: For moderate buildup, we apply professional-grade descaling solutions that dissolve calcium deposits. We then scrub and rinse the tile thoroughly.
• •Pumice Stone: For light scale and waterline stains, we carefully use pumice stones to scrub away buildup without scratching your tile finish.

We choose the right method based on how much buildup you have and what type of tile you own. Every pool is different, and we tailor our approach to get the best results. We also clean grout lines, remove algae stains, and polish your tile so it shines.

Preventing Future Calcium Buildup

Once your tile is clean, you want to keep it that way. Calcium buildup happens when your water chemistry is off balance. High pH, high calcium hardness, and high alkalinity all contribute to scale formation. Regular water testing and chemical balancing help prevent new deposits from forming.

Our weekly pool cleaning service includes water testing and balancing to keep calcium levels in check. We also brush your tile regularly to prevent buildup before it becomes a problem. If your pool is already showing signs of other issues like cloudy water or algae, we can help with green pool treatment and complete water restoration.
