A pool acid wash in Beverly Hills makes sense when the plaster is sound but the surface has turned dull, blotchy or rough with scale that brushing will not move. We look at the finish first, and if a wash will not help, you hear that before a drop is drained.
Acid washing removes a thin layer of plaster along with the stains, so we treat it as a tool to use sparingly. We do not replaster or resurface, and when a finish is worn through, we tell you so plainly.
Pool Acid Wash in Beverly Hills: What Makes It Different
The drain is the part that is specific to this city. Beverly Hills Public Works asks residents to request an inspection before draining a pool, spa or fountain into the curb and gutter (Source: City of Beverly Hills Stormwater Program), and the City states that draining a pool to the street must always be approved. (Source: City of Beverly Hills FAQ) We plan the timing around that approval and dechlorinate the water so it meets local discharge rules before any of it leaves the property.
Refill water deserves the same attention as the wash itself. Beverly Hills tap water averaged 81 to 153 mg/L of hardness in the city's 2025 water report (Source: City of Beverly Hills), a moderate level that leaves room to build calcium to the right range during start-up, so freshly exposed plaster is neither etched nor scaled in its first weeks.
Water use is also on the city's mind. Beverly Hills is in Water Conservation Stage C (Source: City of Beverly Hills), so we only recommend a pool acid wash in Beverly Hills when the plaster will clearly benefit from the drain.

A pool acid wash in Beverly Hills covers the steps below; the full process is on our pool acid wash page.
- Stain diagnosis. We identify whether marks come from metals, minerals or organics and probe for thin or delaminating plaster.
- A drain that follows city rules. Public Works inspection timing planned with you and the water dechlorinated before discharge.
- Section-by-section wash. Diluted acid applied to small areas and rinsed quickly to limit etching.
- Neutralized rinse water. Treated in the deep end and pumped out, never left to run down the street.
- Refill and start-up. Alkalinity and pH first, then chlorine and calcium in steps, with brushing on follow-up visits.
When an Acid Wash Is the Right Call
- Brown or gray blotches remain after a pool sat green.
- Rough calcium deposits cover the floor and walls, not just the waterline.
- Rust-colored marks sit near fittings or where metal debris rested on the bottom.
If the staining is limited to the tile line, our tile and calcium cleaning is gentler and needs no drain at all. For drains, tile cleaning and weekly care, start at our homepage.
