Infinity edge, Spa, and Pool Coping

   Kaanapali Maui is a beautiful place to have a home. Here is an extreme case of hard water build up on an infinity edge. Here we used our specialized blasting technique to remove the calcium build up to reveal the nice deep blue tiles hidden under all that white. Owner was very excited to see his pools beauty again.

Project: Pool tile stain removal - glass tiles

 

Glass tile is easily compromised and damaged with any method that is too aggressive. Yet calcium and hard water staining is an ongoing problem.  The answer is media blasting. Despite its name, it's the safest way to restore pool tile. 

Ask for a consultation on your pool or water feature.

Water Feature and Pool Tile - How to Gently Remove Water Stains

This project was a non-salt and non-chlorine pool in Kula, Maui, Hawaii. It used a natural filtration system which led to a darkened film. 
Pool Tiles Before Cleaning by EUROTECH Maui
 
Notice the darkened areas above and the progress picture during cleaning below.  We used a "blasting" procedure to safely and gently remove the staining.  The media used was ph neutral (safe for acid sensistive surfaces like stone) and biodegradable.  The client told us these were natural hand cut glass tiles.  Glass tiles are extremely sensitive to aggressive cleaning.  Methods that are too aggressive may get the job done, but potentially cause damage and can compromise the tiles.

The unique filtration system created  a unique and challenging project for us.  The end results were great and we have another happy client.

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.
