Seek alternatives if possible. We believe glass beads damage tile. Even if that weren't a problem, what about swimming in water containing tiny glass pieces?
Consider dry ice blasting as an alternative.
Very few companies have dry ice blasting systems. Another alternative is mineral blasting with magnesium sulfate. This mineral is softer than the tile. Therefore, it can never damage it. It is not as widely available as glass beading, but you should be able to find a company using this process if you are in the southwest (CA, AZ, NV). Search the internet for "pool tile cleaning magnesium sulfate".

How can you remove the white line on the tile?
I have seen entire pools damaged by crushed glass and glass bead blasting. That's why I don't recomend using it when options exist. I have done a lot of tile cleanings and they do not come off easy. Chemicals are a waste of money. I have heard of Pressure washing as an alternative (only works with light build-up)and i don't mean to down any person whom has used a sander but it can harm the tile. Yes the sanding may work but you might end up causing yourself a large expense in the long run. but the best way is to blast it with Glass Bead.
