The white line at the waterline is calcium, and in Gilbert it comes with the water. Every gallon that evaporates in a Gilbert summer leaves its minerals behind, pH creeps up, and the scale bonds to the tile. Tartan Pools cleans pool tile across Gilbert and the East Valley, and keeps it clean afterward with weekly service.
Gilbert water is hard and high in calcium, and most Gilbert pools are plaster pools from the 1990s and 2000s, which scale more readily than pebble. Weekly balancing and brushing are the difference between a tile clean every few years and one every year.
A tile clean handles the waterline. When calcium hardness in the water itself is far over range, the fix is a drain and refill, sometimes with an acid wash of the plaster. We test first and tell you which you need. See drain, acid wash and tile cleaning for the full job.
Most Gilbert customers put the pool on a weekly plan the same week. Plans run from $140 per month plus chemicals, by pool size, or from $179 per month with basic chemicals included, and every visit brushes the tile line. See pricing and the Gilbert pool service page.
It is quoted by pool size and how heavy the scale is, after we see the tile line. Light calcium on a play pool is a short job; thick scale on a large pool with a spa and raised bond beam takes longer.
Calcium comes off. Etched or cracked tile, grout loss and stains inside the tile are not cleaning problems, and we tell you which is which before we start.
Weekly chemistry that holds pH and alkalinity in range and weekly tile-line brushing. Both are part of our weekly service plans, from $140 per month plus chemicals.
