Stripping a microscopic layer of plaster or pebble to remove embedded mineral scale, copper stains, and dead algae roots. Drained, washed, neutralized, and prepped for refill in a single service window.
What our acid wash covers in Krum
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

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

About acid wash in Krum, TX
Krum embodies authentic small-town Texas living with a strong sense of community and family values that have deep roots in Denton County history. Located north of Lewisville, Krum maintains its rural character while experiencing thoughtful growth—new residential communities are being developed to serve growing families while long-established ranches and older residential properties remain central to the community's identity. The small-town feel creates a culture where neighbors know neighbors, local businesses are valued, and service providers are expected to demonstrate genuine commitment to the community rather than transient interest. Krum families choosing pool ownership often do so on larger properties with wells serving individual homes rather than municipal water systems. This unique water situation—characterized by elevated mineral content and hardness typical of Denton County wells—requires sophisticated understanding and specialized treatment protocols that many generic pool service companies lack. Our expertise with Krum's specific well water challenges, combined with genuine investment in serving this rural community, has made Simplified Pools the provider of choice for Krum homeowners. Whether managing pools on 1-acre residential lots or larger ranch properties, our team brings rural property knowledge and well water expertise that truly makes a difference in maintaining crystal clear pools despite challenging groundwater chemistry.
Krum water profile
Krum is characterized predominantly by well water systems, with mineral content often exceeding 800-1200 ppm TDS depending on well location and depth. Groundwater contains elevated calcium (300+ ppm), iron (0.5-2.0 ppm), and sometimes sulfates creating persistent scaling and staining challenges. Water hardness requires aggressive treatment with sequestrants, chelating agents, and possibly saturation index management to prevent surface damage. The water chemistry is among the most challenging in our service area, requiring experienced technicians who understand well water treatment protocols deeply. Many Krum property owners have struggled with service providers unfamiliar with well water, making our expertise a significant differentiator.
Krum pool & equipment mix
Krum pools primarily feature classic installations on larger properties reflecting rural and estate-style living. Most contain plaster finishes with sand filters and single to dual-speed pump configurations. Equipment tends to be older and requires more frequent maintenance due to well water corrosivity and mineral scaling. Some properties feature large recreational pools (25,000-50,000+ gallons) reflecting acreage and recreation-focused property designs. A growing number of newer property acquisitions are updating pools with modern equipment and salt systems better suited to managing the challenging well water.
