What is the average cost of a pool re plaster?
I live in Southern California and my pool cost around $7,000.00 to re-plaster and re-tile. I have a large pool with attached spa. I also had some plumbimg repairs (new Jandy valves, new return lines) which were included in this price. They also replaced the side steps (in the deep end), as these don't survive the demolition. This was in summer, 2003.

Swimming pool tile scale removal is best done by?
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.

What is the materials needed in cleaning swimming pool?
It depends. If the plaster has an alkalinity build-up (a chalky white look on the plaster), you will need an acid wash. It is not something you would want to do yourself. Use a professional. If the tile has a white ring around it, that would be calcium. It will require specialized equipment to remove it. There are two methods: glass beads and magnesium sulfate. Magnesium sulfate is the newest method, and won't damage the tile. If the water is dirty, it could be a variety of reasons: pool equipment not operating properly, water chemistry unbalanced or improper circulation of water.
