The experts at Arizona Bead Blasting, the Valleys' #1 choice for pool tile cleaning, are now offering the newest media for pool tile cleaning: pool mineral blasting. Kieserite pool formula (Epson Salt) is specially formulated for cleaning swimming pool tiles. It's a gentle alternative to glass beads. It safely removes calcium, mineral deposits, oily residue, mold, algae and scale from pool waterline surfaces. Some pool tile surfaces cannot be cleaned with glass bead due to either their delicate nature or home owner neglect. Glass tile, black tile, decorative tile and heavily calcified pool tiles can now be cleaned with spectacular results. Kieserite costs more per linear foot than glass bead but the results are definitely worth it. Our process for cleaning is exactly the same. The only difference is the media. Kieserite -Naturally mined mineral salt: * pH neutral (7.0) * 100% Non-Hazardous * Water soluble (Dissolves in 24 hrs) * Safe on ALL tile surfaces: ** Glass Tile ** Decorative Tile ** Black Tile ** Neglected Tile * Does not require us to empty pool * NO mechanical abrasive devices (pumice, grinders or wire wheels) * NO harsh acids or chemicals * NO change to pool chemistry www.arizonabeadblasting.com 602-692-4913
What is the correct blast media and pressure to bead blast pool tile?
The traditional method uses sand or glass beads. Some cleaning companies use a media that is softer than the tile to avoid damage to the surface. Specially processed sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and hydrated magnesium sulphate (epson salts) are used quite frequently for cleaning pool tile without damaging the tile. Both of these products are not recyclable and are cleaned by dissolving in water. Care must be taken with sodium bicarbonate because it can damage landscaping if not used properly. Surface Renewal Pool Tile Cleaning uses both glass bead and magnesium sulfate to clean pool tile. You can not bead blast glass pool tile without etching so the use magnesium sulfate to clean glass pool tile is a must. On standard ceramic pool tile glass bead blasting is sufficient due to the high cost of using magnesium sulfate as long as it is done at a low pressure.
