Pool Edge and Tile Coping Cleaning

Pool Tile Coping, Infinity Edge, Water Features:  Removing Hard Water Stains and Water Lines by EUROTECH Maui 877.0222

Pools are beautiful features in a tropical Maui home.  So what is that white line around the pool edge making it look not so pretty? 

Maui water is very hard.  The high calcium content and evaporation cause a buildup along the water line that mars the pool tile coping and leaves that ugly waterline around the pool. 

Pool Tile Coping - Infinity Edge - Water Feature:
How can the water spots and water lines be removed?

Some owners opt to pumice the calcium buildup, but that is an aggressive method that can compromise the tile surfaces or glaze.  The pumice can scratch the surfaces and leave a sanded surface that calcium will accumulate faster and be harder to remove at the next cleaning.   Pumice blocks can crumble during use and if a chunk gets in the pool pump gears, can cause damage.  It is also extremely time and labor intensive to do it yourself by hand.

A better alternative is media blasting, which removes the calcium buildup and is gentler on the tile.  The pool does not need to be drained or emptied, just lowered a bit.  The material is reclaimed and will not damage your pool.  The techs at EUROTECH Maui would be happy to help solve your water stain problems.
