If you’re noticing stubborn white or grayish deposits on your pool’s tiles, walls, or floor, you’re likely dealing with pool scale build-up. This issue not only affects the appearance of your pool but can also damage its surfaces and equipment.
At M&M Pool & Spa Services, we offer expert pool scale removal services that restore your pool to its pristine condition. Using proven acid treatments and preventative maintenance strategies, we help South Florida pool owners, especially in the Miami-Dade area, eliminate scale and keep it from returning.
Pool scale build-up, also known as calcium scaling, is typically caused by high levels of calcium and other minerals in your pool water. This condition, known as water hardness, leads to mineral deposits sticking to pool tiles and surfaces when not properly managed. There are two common types of scale:
Calcium carbonate appears as flaky white crusts and can often be removed more easily with acid treatments or pumice stones.
Harder and more stubborn, calcium silicate scaling forms over time and often requires professional equipment and expertise for effective removal.
One of the most effective methods for pool scale removal is using professional-grade acid treatments. At M&M Pool & Spa Services, we use muriatic acid or specialized cleaning solutions to break down and dissolve scale without damaging your pool’s surfaces. This process requires expert handling for safety and effectiveness, which is why we always recommend hiring professionals for the job.
For minor scale build-up, tools like pumice stones or scale removal brushes can be used to scrub off deposits. However, using the wrong technique or tool could scratch your pool’s finish, making professional assessment essential.
Properly balancing your pool’s pH and alkalinity levels helps in the removal and prevention of scale. We conduct comprehensive water testing and adjustments as part of our pool maintenance packages to make sure your chemical levels are optimized.

As important as removal is, scale prevention ensures your pool remains free from damaging mineral deposits over the long term. Here are some tips to prevent scale build-up:
Checking calcium hardness regularly is crucial. The recommended range is typically between 200 and 400 ppm. If it’s too high, consider diluting pool water or using scale-reducing agents.
Sequestering agents and scale inhibitors bind calcium and other minerals in your pool water, preventing them from forming deposits on surfaces.
Visual inspections, weekly cleanings, and seasonal maintenance performed by certified professionals like those at M&M Pool & Spa Services are key to keeping your pool scale-free year-round.
