Pool Tile Calcium Removal
The flagship. Scale comes off the waterline tile with the pool still full, so the glaze and the grout line come back instead of being covered up.
No draining. Residential and hotel.
Thousand Palms · Coachella Valley
That's not dirt.
It's calcium scale.
Desert hard water leaves the same white line on every pool in the valley. We take it off with your pool still full. Most pools are ready to swim within 24 hours.

The problem
Why the white line keeps coming back
Coachella Valley water is hard. Every time it evaporates off the waterline it leaves its minerals behind on the tile, and over a season those minerals build into a grey-white crust.
A brush will not move it. Tile soap will not move it. It is not dirt, it is calcium bonded to the glaze, and it has to be taken off mechanically.
How it comes off
Taken off with your pool full
We work the waterline with the water still in the pool. No draining means no refill, no empty shell sitting in the heat, and no week without a pool.

Before and after
The same tile, twice
Every job on this page is a waterline that looked like the left side and now looks like the right.
Ask Paul what it takes
What we do
Seven jobs, one trade
-
Tile Repair
Cracked, loose or missing waterline tile reset and matched to what is already there.
-
Re-Grouting
Failed grout cut out and replaced along the waterline so water stops getting behind the tile.
-
Sandblasting
For heavy buildup and for surfaces that need to be taken back before anything new goes on.
-
Acid Wash
Stained plaster brought back a shade, for surfaces where the discoloration is in the finish.
-
Pool Light Replacement
Dead or fogged pool lights pulled and replaced while we are already at the waterline.
-
Plaster
The big one. When the surface is past washing, the pool gets a new finish rather than another clean.
