Thinking about getting your pool tile or fountain tile cleaned?  It could be scary.  Pick the wrong company using the wrong process and your tile can be destroyed.  Pool and fountain tiles can be made of stone, ceramic, glass or other fragile materials.  Use the wrong method and you could destroy the tile, damage the tile, or waste your time and energy and still have scale-coated tiles.  This won’t happen if you contract with Beachside Pool Service, the Newport Coast Pool service company that cleans tile from pools, spas, and fountains.

Why Tile Needs Cleaning

Even if a professional Newport Coast pool service maintains your pool and equipment, you can still get calcium build-up on your tiles.  The water that goes into your pool contains trace amounts of calcium and magnesium.  Have you ever heard the term “hard water”?  It refers to the amount of  as calcium and other minerals in the water.  Even with regular, weekly cleaning and proper water chemistry calcium and other minerals can build up.  Of course regular professional pool cleaning will increase the amount of time between tile cleanings, but it is still necessary.

As water splashes on the tiles or as the water level drops, the water evaporates and leaves behind the minerals.  The minerals stick to the tile.  As more water evaporates more minerals stick to the tile.  Over time, a white haze or chalky or crusty deposit appears on the tile.  Scraping the tile can scratch the surface. Scratched surface attract more deposits.  Pool owners can try to clean pool tile by hand, but smart homeowners hire pros.

Tile Cleaning Methods

A professional Newport Coast pool service company like Beachside Pool Service knows that not all pool tile can be cleaned using the same methods.  Many Newport Coast pool service companies won’t even touch fountain tile.  Beachside Pool Service isn’t afraid of pool or fountain tile.  Jared Benson will use the best method for your surface.

Bead Blasting.  Bead blasting uses very small (about 10 microns) smooth glass beads to blast away the

calcium deposits.  Bead blasting is an effective way to clean Pebble Tec

surfaces as well as the tile.  Glass bead blasting will not mar the finish of the tile.  Beads falls to the bottom of the pool and can be vacuumed or skimmed to remove.

Salt Blasting.  Glass tiles are becoming more and more popular.  They are beautiful, but fragile.  Salt blasting will remove  deposits without damaging the glaze.  Salt blasting uses a mineral that will  remove deposits from even black tiles without leaving a haze.  Salt and bead blasting will both remove algae, scale deposits, and oily residues from the waterline where they collect.

Soda Blasting.  Soda blasting is the same procedure, but with a different media.  It is softer than glass beads and works well with stone tiles.  Because it impacts the pH of the pool water, this method should only be performed by pool cleaning professionals with the knowledge and expertise to re-balance the water chemistry.
