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. 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

No the pool doesn't "have" to be drained. Are you replacing all the tile or just making a repair? Small repairs can easily be done by lowering the waterline to just below the tile.
