Pool Tile Cleaning & Calcium/Scale Removal
Restore your pool tiles to sparkling condition with professional calcium removal.
Why Calcium Builds Up on Pool Tiles
That white, crusty buildup on your waterline is calcium scale. It comes from minerals in Florida water that get left behind when water evaporates. Our hard water contains high levels of calcium, and our hot climate means constant evaporation. The combination creates stubborn deposits that make your beautiful pool look neglected.
Calcium scale is more than just ugly. It creates rough, sharp surfaces that can cut your feet and hands. The buildup gets thicker over time, eventually damaging tile and grout. Regular brushing and household cleaners barely touch it. Most Winter Haven pool owners struggle with this problem because our water is naturally hard.
Professional Cleaning Makes a Huge Difference
We use professional-grade tools and chemicals that remove calcium completely without damaging your tiles. Our glass bead blasting and pumice stone techniques strip away years of buildup safely. Your tiles will look brand new again.
Our Tile Cleaning Process
We clean pool tiles properly using methods that remove calcium without scratching or etching your tile surface. The right approach depends on your tile type and how severe the buildup is.
- •Glass bead blasting for heavy calcium deposits
- •Pumice stone treatment for delicate tiles
- •Professional acid washing for stubborn scale
- •Waterline tile scrubbing and polishing
- •Grout cleaning and calcium removal from joints
- •Saltwater pool stain removal
- •Deck tile and coping cleaning
- •Post-cleaning sealing for longer-lasting results
The entire process takes 2 to 4 hours depending on your pool size and calcium severity. We protect your pool surface, clean carefully, and leave no mess behind. The transformation is dramatic. Homeowners are always amazed at how much brighter and cleaner their pools look after professional tile cleaning.
Preventing Future Calcium Buildup
You cannot eliminate calcium scale completely in Florida, but you can slow it down significantly. Keeping your water chemistry balanced reduces mineral deposits. Your calcium hardness level should stay between 200 and 400 ppm. Regular brushing at the waterline prevents scale from hardening into thick deposits.
Our weekly pool cleaning service includes waterline brushing and chemistry management that minimizes calcium buildup. We test your water regularly and adjust chemicals before scale forms. This preventive approach keeps your tiles cleaner between professional deep cleanings. Pair it with our deep cleaning service once or twice per year for the best results.
Some pools need tile cleaning every 6 months, others once per year. The frequency depends on your water hardness, evaporation rate, and maintenance routine. We recommend scheduling tile cleaning before hosting events or at the start of summer when your pool gets the most use.
