What our acid wash covers in Lewisville

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

Common acid wash symptoms we see in Lewisville

Plaster looks yellow, brown, or mottled even after chlorine shockRough, sandpaper-like calcium carbonate scale along walls and floorBlue-green or black metal stains caused by dissolved copper or ironStubborn black algae heads returning in the exact same spots every summerDull, gray pebble aggregate hidden under years of mineral buildupSevere staining left behind after clearing an abandoned swamp-green pool

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

About acid wash in Lewisville, TX

Lewisville is a major DFW suburb with over 115,000 residents spread across diverse neighborhoods ranging from established communities built in the 1980s to brand-new master-planned developments. The city sits along Lewisville Lake, one of DFW's most popular recreation areas, and benefits from excellent transportation access via I-35E and the DART rail system. The pool market in Lewisville is massive and varied — Castle Hills and other newer developments feature modern pools with premium equipment, while established neighborhoods along Valley Ridge and throughout central Lewisville contain thousands of older pools that benefit from regular professional maintenance and equipment updates. Lewisville's proximity to the lake means seasonal moisture and humidity can affect algae pressure, while the city's mature tree canopy creates leaf management challenges in many neighborhoods. The sheer number of pools in Lewisville combined with the diversity of ages and equipment types requires a service provider with deep technical knowledge and flexible service approaches. Our team handles everything from basic weekly chemical maintenance on newer salt pools to comprehensive service on 30-year-old plaster pools with original equipment. Located just 10 miles from our Northlake headquarters, Lewisville is efficiently served with multiple weekly routes.

Lewisville water profile

Lewisville is served by municipal water from the City of Lewisville system, sourcing from Lewisville Lake and the DFW water supply network. Water quality is good with moderate mineral content (300-400 ppm TDS). The proximity to Lewisville Lake means seasonal algae pressure can be higher, particularly in summer and early fall. Municipal water is generally favorable for pool maintenance with consistent chemistry year-round.

Lewisville pool & equipment mix

Lewisville has the widest diversity of pool types in our service area. Established neighborhoods (1980s-2000s) contain classic plaster pools with sand filters and single-speed pumps — many approaching or past equipment replacement age. Newer communities like Castle Hills feature modern installations with pebble finishes, cartridge filtration, variable-speed pumps, and smart automation. Mid-range neighborhoods often have pools in the 15-20 year old range that benefit from targeted equipment upgrades. Pool sizes range from compact 8,000-gallon backyard pools to large 30,000+ gallon installations.

Lewisville acid wash questions

How fast can you get to my Lewisville pool for acid wash?
Our usual Lewisville 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 Lewisville water affect acid wash?
Lewisville is on municipal water (typically Upper Trinity Water District or DCUD), which is relatively clean — TDS under 500 ppm — but summer irrigation demand and Texas heat still push chemistry around. For acid wash that's mostly good news — the failures we see in Lewisville are heat-cycle and chemistry-drift related rather than mineral, so they're more predictable and cheaper to stay ahead of. Most Lewisville pools are plaster or pebble — finishes that show staining fast if chemistry slips.
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 Lewisville?
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 Lewisville (75029, 75056, 75057, 75067), 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 Lewisville 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
