How Does Pool Tile Cleaning Work?

AZ Bead Blasting specializes in pool tile cleaning.

Why do it yourself when you can save time and money by letting us do all the work?  We could have your pool tile cleaning finished in just 2 hours!

Pool Tile Cleaning Step 1

Before we begin the swimming pool tile cleaning process, we lower the water level in your swimming pool.  Don’t worry – we won’t empty your swimming pool or waste water.  In fact, we only lower the water level by about 6” – just below the calcium line.  We do this so that we have clear access to the residue on your pool tiles. The water is drained by using an industrial water pump that will lead to a drain into your front yard or in the street.

Pool Tile Cleaning Step 2

After the water is at an optimal level, we enter your pool with our customized equipment.  The state-of-the-art pool cleaning equipment was built specifically for swimming pool tile cleaning and uses small glass beads to achieve the best results.  Glass bead blasting is the best method for removing calcium and minerals from your swimming pool tile.  Glass beads are round in shape and are made from lead-free soda-lime type glass that does not contain silica.  They are environmentally friendly and do not involve the use of chemicals which can damage your pool and leave an undesirable residue.  Additionally, using glass beads in the pool tile cleaning process assures you that your swimming pool tile will not be scratched or damaged!

Pool Tile Cleaning Step 3

Once we are in the water and our equipment is in place, the glass beads are then shot against your pool tile at low pressure, which carefully removes calcium, mineral build up, chemical residue and hard water stains.  The specially designed system we use for pool tile cleaning has a self-contained vacuum built in the machine that returns the deposits as it removes them from the tile.  This prevents additional foreign objects from falling into your swimming pool.

Pool Tile Cleaning Step 4

Once bead blasting is finished, we wipe down the tile surface by hand to remove any additional residue that might still be on the tiles.  At this time, you will be able to see how the pool tile cleaning process has completely freed your pool tiles of any stains and/or residue. After residue has been removed and the tile has dried we apply a sealant to protect tile from further water damage. The pool tile surface will be clean and glossy.

Pool Tile Cleaning Step 5

Finally, we use our own portable vacuum system to sweep the glass beads out of your swimming pool.  This leaves no mess for you to clean up!  Then the pool tile cleaning is complete.  The entire pool tile cleaning process normally takes about 2 hours for a regular sized swimming pool (90 sq. ft.).
