Soda or media blasting
Compressed air and selected abrasive media break up mineral deposits along the waterline and on compatible tile or stone. Pressure and media are adjusted after a test area.

Pool Tile Cleaning & Calcium Removal in Austin, TX
Central Texas hard water can leave chalky calcium deposits on glass or ceramic pool tile, natural stone, spillways, coping, and water features. Our Austin pool tile cleaning process starts by inspecting the material and buildup before using high-pressure abrasive soda/media blasting, professionally managed muriatic acid washing, or another surface-appropriate approach.

Calcium-removal methods selected for the surface
We inspect the specific pool and explain the approved scope before work begins. Conditions, access, equipment, and surface materials determine the final approach.
Muriatic acid washing
For appropriate mineral deposits and surfaces, a controlled acid-wash process can dissolve scale that does not respond to ordinary cleaning.
Tile and stone assessment
Glass, glazed ceramic, grout, sandstone, flagstone, coping, and other materials do not tolerate the same pressure, media, or chemical exposure.
Residue and debris cleanup
Spent media, loosened scale, rinse water, and nearby equipment are managed as part of the approved work plan.
A clear process
A careful process for aggressive mineral buildup
The point is to understand the condition, choose a suitable method, and leave you with a practical next step.
- 1
Identify surface and scale
We inspect the material, finish condition, grout, surrounding features, access, and severity of the mineral deposit.
- 2
Test the cleaning method
A controlled test area helps determine suitable pressure, media, dwell time, or whether acid washing is appropriate.
- 3
Clean, neutralize, and rinse
The approved method is applied systematically, followed by cleanup and the required rinse or neutralization steps.
Local Austin pool expertise
Built for Austin's hard-water scale
Calcium deposits are common in Central Texas, but removal is not one-size-fits-all. Excessive pressure can etch softer stone or damage grout, while acid can affect sensitive surfaces and surrounding materials. The surface—not the sales pitch—determines the method.

Questions Austin pool owners ask.
Still unsure? Call or text the symptoms, the pool location, and photos of the surface or equipment when possible.
Text (512) 639-1594Can soda blasting remove calcium from pool tile?
It can remove many mineral deposits from compatible surfaces, but the media and pressure must match the tile, stone, glaze, grout, and severity of the buildup. A test area is important.
Do you use muriatic acid to remove pool scale?
Muriatic acid washing may be used when the deposit and surface are appropriate. The area must be assessed, protected, controlled, rinsed, and neutralized correctly; it is not the right method for every surface.
Will calcium removal make old tile look new?
Removing mineral haze can dramatically improve appearance, but cleaning cannot reverse permanent etching, worn glaze, damaged grout, staining inside the material, or prior chemical damage.
How much does pool tile cleaning cost?
Cost depends on the number of linear feet, scale severity, tile or stone type, access, water level, protection and cleanup needs, and the safe cleaning method. A surface assessment is needed for an accurate quote.
