What our acid wash covers in Corinth

A full physical and chemical surface stripping procedure for gunite, plaster, and pebble pools. We drain the pool, apply a balanced dilution of commercial muriatic acid to remove stained surface cement, neutralize the runoff with soda ash to protect plumbing, and rinse the shell thoroughly before starting the refill.

  • ✓Submersible pump setup and controlled pool draining with hydrostatic relief valve monitoring
  • ✓Manual application of diluted HASA muriatic acid across floor and walls
  • ✓Specialized scrubbing of calcium scale deposits along the tile line and steps
  • ✓Neutralization of acid slurry in the bowl using soda ash before pumping out
  • ✓Targeted treatment of deep black algae spore sites embedded in plaster pores
  • ✓PebbleTec and exposed aggregate brightening without aggregate dislodgement
  • ✓Localized spot treatments using specialized underwater acid wash equipment when full draining is not indicated
  • ✓Initial fill-water testing and start-up chemical balancing plan once the pool is filled

What we don't do (just so you know)

  • • Vinyl liner and fiberglass pools — acid washing will dissolve or bleach these surfaces
  • • Structural plaster failures, delamination, hollow spots, or gunite showing through worn plaster
  • • Subsurface soil stains migrating through porous gunite from the exterior of the shell

If you're seeing any of these, call (469) 455-1054 — most are diagnosable in one visit.

About acid wash in Corinth, TX

Corinth has quietly grown into one of Denton County's most attractive residential communities, offering affordable homes in well-maintained neighborhoods with easy access to I-35E and the broader DFW metroplex. The city's family-friendly culture, good schools (Denton ISD and Lake Dallas ISD), and proximity to Lewisville Lake recreation areas have drawn steady residential growth. Many Corinth neighborhoods were developed in the 2000s-2010s, putting them at the age where pools are well-established and equipment may be entering the optimization or replacement window. The community's residential character and high rate of pool ownership make it a natural extension of our Denton County service area. Corinth homeowners value reliability, fair pricing, and honest communication — qualities that align perfectly with our service philosophy. Located just 8 miles from our Northlake headquarters, Corinth is efficiently served with regular weekly routes that keep service consistent and response times fast for repairs and emergencies.

Corinth water profile

Corinth is served by municipal water systems providing consistent, well-balanced water chemistry (300-400 ppm TDS). The water quality supports straightforward pool maintenance without the challenges of well water communities. Seasonal chlorine demand increases in summer but overall management is standard for the DFW area.

Corinth pool & equipment mix

Corinth pools are predominantly family-oriented residential installations from the 2000s-2010s. Most feature plaster or pebble finishes with cartridge or sand filtration, and a mix of single-speed and variable-speed pumps. Salt chlorine generators are moderately common. Pool sizes typically range from 10,000 to 25,000 gallons, designed primarily for family recreation and entertaining.

Corinth acid wash questions

How fast can you get to my Corinth pool for acid wash?
Our usual Corinth response time is 24-48 hours after the first call, and we're already routing through Denton County most days. Diagnostic visits are scheduled within 1-2 business days.
Does Corinth water affect acid wash?
Corinth is mostly well-water properties — groundwater with elevated calcium (often 600-900 ppm) and iron, which behaves very differently from municipal water. That matters for acid wash specifically: dissolved calcium and iron scale heat exchangers, shorten salt-cell life, and chew through pump seals, so equipment out here tends to need attention sooner than the same gear on city water. We check LSI on every visit rather than treating the symptom twice. Many Corinth pools run salt chlorine generators, which changes how we dose the other chemicals.
Do you charge for the diagnostic visit even if I don't book the repair?
Yes — there's a flat diagnostic charge that we quote on the call before we send a tech. We waive it if you book the repair on the same visit. The diagnostic includes a written estimate so you can compare or get a second opinion before any work starts. We don't publish a fixed repair price online because every job is genuinely different — but you'll never get a surprise number.
Are you licensed and insured for pool work in Corinth?
Yes — we carry full general liability + workers' comp, and our techs are trained on every major brand (Pentair, Hayward, Jandy, Sta-Rite). We're a real local business in Argyle serving Corinth (76210), not a referral marketplace that sells your details to whoever answers first.
Do you bring parts on the first visit, or do I wait for a second visit for the repair?
We stock the most-common parts on every truck — pump seals, basket lids, cartridges, sand, filter o-rings, ignition components, salt-cell test kits. About 70% of repairs in Corinth finish on the first visit. The other 30% need a part order; we book the return for the next available slot, usually within 48 hours.
How often can a plaster pool be acid washed?
Most traditional white plaster finishes can handle an acid wash every 5 to 7 years. Each treatment removes roughly 1 to 2 millimeters of surface paste, so excessive washing exposes the rough sand and aggregate beneath. Pebble and quartz finishes tolerate the process better because the aggregate itself is impervious to acid.
Will an acid wash fix rough spots or plaster cracks?
No. Acid removes mineral scale and stains, but it does not repair structural cracks or smooth out degraded, pitted plaster. In fact, if the plaster is already thin, an acid wash can make rough patches more noticeable by removing the surrounding smooth cream coat.
What happens to the acid after scrubbing the walls?
The acid collects in the deep end bowl where we neutralize it using soda ash until the pH reaches a neutral 7.0 to 7.4. Once safe and inert, the slurry is pumped out according to local municipal drainage regulations so it does not damage storm drains or pool pumps.
Can I leave the pool empty after the wash to save on water bills?
No. In North Texas clay soils, an empty concrete pool risks floating or shifting from hydrostatic ground pressure, and direct summer sun will crack bare plaster. Refilling begins immediately once the neutralization and rinse-down are finished.

  • Freeze nights (January and December): keep the pump running, and what to drain if the power goes out
  • The March opening: test everything, brush, shock, then balance alkalinity, pH and calcium
  • Summer: testing two or three times a week, the weekly shock, and what to do after rain or a party
  • Fall leaves, and easing the chemistry down for winter
