There is available a bristle brush about 4"square that can accommodate a wooden pole. With the use of a pool tile soap, you scrub the all the tiles of scum and bugs. There is a more professional item that uses a fiber type pad that attaches to an aluminum pole that works far better. Tiles should be cleaned at least once per week. Note: the pad style also helps in the removal of the calcium line build up that accumulates as water evaporates.

What does it mean if you have yellow algae starting to grow on your pool tile and how do you take care of the problem?
You are not cleaning the tile or water line each week with a tile cleaning brush and pole. You are not maintaining water quality and sanitation requirements. You are not shocking the pool either with liquid or other shock treatment or both often enough. Neglect?

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.
