Acid Wash vs Resurface: What to Consider
Published 2025-02-15
Acid washing removes a thin layer of plaster to reveal fresh surface. It can work on mildly stained but structurally sound plaster.
Each acid wash shortens remaining plaster life. If your pool has already been acid washed multiple times, or the plaster is thin, resurfacing is often recommended.
A qualified provider can inspect the surface and recommend an appropriate approach.
