Bead blasting with food-grade aggregate takes the scale off completely. Lake San Marcos water comes from Vallecitos Water District at 13-15 gpg (hard). The usual local condition is older pools in a retiree-heavy community needing reliable, low-touch service.

What do Lake San Marcos homeowners ask about tile cleaning?
Why does my Lake San Marcos pool tile get so much calcium buildup?
Lake San Marcos water hardness is the cause. Mineral-heavy water deposits calcium on tile as the waterline evaporates. It's a constant accumulation that only professional cleaning fully removes.
Will bead blasting damage my pool tile?
No. Food-grade aggregate at controlled pressure is safe for ceramic, porcelain and glass tile. Sand blasting is too aggressive for pool tile and never gets used.
How often should I have tile cleaning done in Lake San Marcos?
Every 2 to 5 years for most Lake San Marcos pools, or more often in very hard water areas. Regular scale inhibitor treatments stretch that out significantly.
What is the water like for a pool in Lake San Marcos?
