Acid Wash Follow-Up: 24 Hrs Later

[@SPL]

The usual charge here In Ca is $400-$500 depending. Not sure if the pool popping out is an Urban Legend. I have never actually seen it happen nor have I heard other poolguys worry about it. Maybe Google it ;)

[@jphomebrew]

I’ve seen it happen to a fiberglass pool

How long after an acid wash can we place our robot vacuums back in? And how long after can the pool be used?

[@SPL]

Right away

[@JunKo-bb7fi]

Should you wait to use a pool heater after an acid wash?

[@SPL]

No. You can fire it up right away.

Hi, Love watching your videos! How much does it usually cost to do an acid wash like this? Do you worry about the pool popping out of the ground or wall collapse when you drain all the water out? Seems pretty scary!

[@lesgarten]

I'm in South Florida and our water table is very high here so that may be part of it.

How much calcium did you have to add?

[@SPL]

In Southern CA outside of LA. Calcium out of tap is close to 200 ppm due to well water. So nothing.

Does Borax neutralize acid?

[@SPL]

Borax absorbs both base and acid so it can keep your pH right around 7.8 with little effort. So you won;t get a lot of pH bounce up or way down.

[@thehulksupersmash6918]

How much a process like that cost?

[@SPL]

$600 and up nowadays.

​@@SPLcan I hire you ASAP. My pool is empty now. Was going to start doing this alone. I need help. My pool man left ne with an algae infestation. The pebbletec walls are stained.

[@TheFoozleSnorf]
