Drain & Acid Wash Pool Services in Las Vegas, Summerlin & Henderson
Stained walls? Cloudy water? Faded surface? It’s time to start fresh.
At CrystalWater Pool Solutions, we offer professional drain and acid wash services to restore the beauty of your pool’s interior — safely and efficiently. Over time, Las Vegas water leaves heavy mineral deposits, stubborn algae stains, and discolored plaster. If regular cleaning and brushing aren’t cutting it, an acid wash may be the best solution.
We serve residential and commercial pools across Summerlin, Henderson, and the entire Las Vegas Valley with expert-level care, strict safety, and honest service.
What Is an Acid Wash?
An acid wash is a deep-cleaning method used on plaster or PebbleTec pools. After draining the pool, we apply a muriatic acid solution to strip off a thin top layer of the surface — removing stains, scale, algae, and mineral deposits.
It’s like resetting your pool’s finish, exposing clean, fresh plaster beneath years of buildup.
When Do You Need an Acid Wash?
We recommend acid washing when:
- The pool walls are heavily stained or blotchy
- You’ve had a severe algae bloom
- There’s persistent scale or mineral crusting
- Your pool hasn’t been drained in 3+ years
- Water remains cloudy even after chemical balancing
- You’re prepping for resale or listing photography
Important: Acid washing is for plaster or PebbleTec pools only — never vinyl-lined or fiberglass pools.
Our Drain & Acid Wash Process
Our process is methodical, safe, and focused on results — without risking your pool shell or surrounding property.
Here’s how we do it:
- Site Inspection
- We evaluate your pool type, condition, and weather timing to ensure safe draining.
- Complete Drain-Out
- Using submersible pumps, we safely drain your pool water while monitoring for groundwater pressure.
- Surface Prep
- We remove large debris, brush loose dirt, and isolate any sensitive areas before acid is applied.
- Muriatic Acid Application
- We apply a diluted solution to strip off the outer layer of scale and staining, exposing clean surface underneath.
- Controlled Scrubbing & Rinse
- We scrub as needed, then neutralize the acid and fully rinse down the surface.
- Re-Fill & Chemical Start-Up (optional)
- Upon request, we refill the pool and add the proper chemical startup package to balance water for swimming.
Benefits of an Acid Wash
- Removes algae staining, calcium, and scale
- Restores bright, clean surface color
- Improves visual clarity and aesthetic
- Increases property value or buyer appeal
- Eliminates lingering contaminants post-algae outbreak
- Creates a fresh foundation for future chemical balancing
How Often Should a Pool Be Drained in Las Vegas?
We recommend draining your pool every 3 to 5 years, depending on:
- Water hardness / TDS (total dissolved solids)
- Frequency of use
- Amount of direct sunlight
- History of algae outbreaks or chemical imbalances
Las Vegas tap water is extremely hard — over time, minerals build up and make it harder to keep water balanced. Draining and restarting with fresh water resets your entire system.
