Acid Wash & Deep Cleaning
When a pool is heavily stained, algae has taken over, or water quality has been neglected, a deep cleaning can reset the system. Reynolds Pool Service provides acid wash and deep cleaning support across the High Desert when it’s appropriate for your pool finish.

Why Acid Wash & Deep Cleaning Matters
Routine service is great for prevention, but some situations need a more aggressive reset—especially after prolonged algae, staining, or heavy debris. Deep cleaning can restore appearance and help bring water back under control. We’ll recommend the safest option based on your surface type and the severity of the issue.
Common reasons homeowners request a deep clean
- Pool has turned green or stayed cloudy despite chemicals
- Staining on plaster or steps that brushing won’t remove
- Pool was left unattended (move-outs, renovations, seasonal neglect)
- Heavy debris load from wind, storms, or landscaping
- Waterline buildup plus overall poor water condition

Acid Wash (Surface-Dependent)
Acid washing is not right for every pool. When appropriate, it can help reduce certain stains and improve appearance, but it must be done carefully and with the surface in mind.
If the main issue is calcium at the waterline, start with pool tile cleaning. If you want consistent prevention after a reset, explore pool cleaning & maintenance.

Deep Cleaning FAQs
Is an acid wash always required for stains?
Not always. Some stains respond to other treatments, and acid washing isn’t appropriate for every finish. We’ll recommend the safest option.
How long does it take to recover a neglected pool?
It depends on debris load, algae severity, filtration performance, and water condition. We’ll outline the steps to get back to clear water.
How do I prevent this from happening again?
The best prevention is consistent service and chemistry management. See pool cleaning & maintenance.
