How much does pool service cost in Temecula?

Every pool is a little different, so we give a free written quote after seeing your situation, no pressure. The price depends on pool size, how often you want service, and the condition of your water and equipment. We keep our quotes clear and simple so you know exactly what you are paying for.

How often should I have my pool cleaned in Temecula?

Most pools in Temecula stay their best with weekly service during the warm months. The summer heat and wind bring dust and leaves into the water fast. We look at your pool, your usage, and your yard to recommend the right schedule for you.

Are you insured for pool service in Temecula?

Yes. True Wave Pools is fully insured, and our team is CPO Certified. That means we are trained to handle pool chemistry and equipment safely. You are protected on your property, and your pool is in trained hands.

Do you offer a satisfaction guarantee on pool cleaning?

We back every visit with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If something is not right after we service your pool, let us know and we will come back and make it right. We want you to feel good about handing us your pool.

What areas do you serve around Temecula?

We serve Temecula, Murrieta, Wildomar, Menifee, Lake Elsinore, Canyon Lake, and French Valley. If you are in any of these cities, our crew can get to your pool quickly and keep it on a steady schedule.

Can you repair pool equipment or just clean pools?

We do both. Along with pool cleaning, we repair and install pumps, filters, heaters, salt cells, automation systems, lights, and timers. Having one crew handle cleaning and equipment means your pool stays consistent and problems get caught early.

Why do stains set in faster on exposed Murrieta hillside lots?

Homes up around La Cresta and the western ridges catch more sun and wind than the sheltered streets near Central Park. That exposure heats the surface, drives off chlorine faster, and bakes organic and metal stains deeper into the plaster. An acid wash lifts that baked-in discoloration, and we can also help you tune your chemistry so the stains come back slower on an exposed lot.

Can you acid wash the older plaster pools in Bear Creek without damaging them?

A lot of Bear Creek pools have original plaster that is decades old, and we always inspect the surface thickness before we commit to a wash. Acid does etch a thin layer each time, so on older plaster we use a lighter mix and shorter dwell time to protect what is left. If the plaster is too far gone, we will tell you before we start instead of washing a pool that really needs a replaster.

How do you handle dust and debris after a Santa Ana wind before an acid wash?

After a Santa Ana event we skim and vacuum the loose debris first, because acid washing over a layer of silt just grinds it into the surface. Once the pool is clean and drained, the wash itself lifts the stains the wind and sun left behind. We also brush the tile line where dust clings before we apply any acid.

Do I have to be home for the whole drain and wash at my Murrieta pool?

No. We coordinate access through a side gate, lockbox, or HOA guest list, and you do not need to wait around while we drain and wash. We send you photos as we go and a written report when we finish, so you see the before and after without giving up your day.

How do you keep the acid from hurting my Murrieta landscaping and decking?

We mask off your tile, coping, and any nearby planters before we start, and we neutralize the waste water before it leaves the pool. Muriatic acid will etch stone and kill plants if it splashes unchecked, so we treat the surrounding hardscape and landscaping with the same care as the pool surface itself.

How long will my Murrieta pool be out of service for an acid wash?

The wash itself takes a few hours once the pool is drained. The drain and refill depend on your pool size and water pressure, but most Murrieta pools are back up and running in one to two days. We give you a clear timeline in your quote so you can plan around the downtime.

Pool acid wash in Murrieta drained pool surface being acid washed to remove stains and algae

Pool Acid Wash Services in Murrieta

An acid wash is the deepest clean your Murrieta pool surface can get. We strip stains, algae roots, and calcium scale that regular brushing and chlorine cannot remove, leaving your plaster or pebble finish bright and smooth.

Acid Wash Options We Offer in Murrieta

Full Surface Acid Wash

We drain your Murrieta pool down to the shell and scrub the whole interior with a muriatic acid solution to lift years of baked-in stains. The plaster or pebble finish comes back brighter and feels smooth underfoot again.

Spot Treatment for Stubborn Stains

When one section of your Murrieta pool has a stubborn rust or organic stain but the rest looks fine, we can treat just that area. We apply a controlled acid paste to the spot so you do not pay for a full drain you do not need.

Algae Bloom Reset

If your Murrieta pool has gone green and chlorine will not touch it, the algae has rooted into the plaster. An acid wash strips those roots out so the algae cannot bounce back the way it does after a standard shock treatment.

Calcium Scale Stripping

Hillside lots around La Cresta often run hard well water that leaves a crusty white scale line on tile and walls. We acid wash that scale off so the surface is clean and the water line looks crisp instead of chalky.

Plaster Brightening

Older plaster in established Murrieta neighborhoods picks up a dull gray or yellow tint over the years. An acid wash etches away that stained top layer and brings back the bright finish the pool had when it was new.

Pre-Season Surface Reset

Some Murrieta homeowners book an acid wash in early spring to start the season with a fresh surface. We handle the drain, the wash, and the refill so the pool is ready before the weather turns hot.

Materials and Surfaces We Work With

Plaster, Pebble, and Quartz Finishes

We acid wash white plaster, colored plaster, pebble tec, and quartz pool surfaces across Murrieta. Each finish reacts to acid a little differently, so we adjust the strength and the scrubbing pressure to match your surface. That way we lift the stains without over-etching the finish or shortening its life.

Muriatic Acid Handled Safely

We use muriatic acid, the standard for pool acid washing, and we handle it with full safety gear and proper neutralization. We protect your tile, your decking, and your equipment from splashes while we work at your Murrieta home. After the wash we neutralize the waste water correctly so nothing harmful runs off your property.

How a Pool Acid Wash Visit Works

From the first surface inspection to a balanced refill, here is what happens when our crew comes out to acid wash your pool in Murrieta.

Surface Inspection and Honest Assessment

We look at your plaster or pebble condition, how deep the stains go, and whether algae is the real cause. Plenty of Murrieta pools look bad but only need a filter clean or a chlorine shock, so we tell you straight if an acid wash is overkill.

Clear Written Quote Before We Drain

Before we pull the plug, we send you a written quote that spells out exactly what the wash includes and how many days your pool will be down. No vague estimates and no surprise add-ons after we start.

Drain, Protect, and Acid Wash

Once you approve, we drain the pool, mask off your tile and decking, mix the acid to the right strength for your finish, and scrub the surface section by section. We neutralize the waste water at your Murrieta home so nothing harmful runs off.

Refill and Chemistry Balance

After the wash we refill your pool and balance the water from a blank slate. We dial in the pH, alkalinity, calcium, and chlorine so your freshly etched surface is not sitting in unbalanced water that would stain it again.

Warning Signs You Need a Pool Acid Wash

Stains and scale build up slowly in Murrieta pools, and at some point regular cleaning stops keeping up. If you notice any of these signs, an acid wash can reset your surface.

Your Murrieta pool has dark green, brown, or yellow stains that brushing and chlorine will not lift
A crusty white calcium line has formed on the tile or water line
The pool turned green and a standard shock did not clear it
The plaster looks dull, gray, or yellow even right after a normal cleaning

What Is Included in an Acid Wash

A Complete Surface Reset for Your Murrieta Pool

A full acid wash includes draining your Murrieta pool, preparing and applying the acid solution, scrubbing the entire surface by hand, neutralizing the waste water, and refilling the pool. We protect your tile, your decking, and your equipment throughout the process. We also rebalance your water chemistry from scratch once the pool is refilled so your fresh surface starts off right.

Honest Pricing With No Surprises

We give a free written quote after we see your Murrieta pool surface, no pressure. If a spot treatment will solve your problem for less, we tell you. If you need a full drain and wash, we quote that clearly. You always know what you are paying for and why, and you decide what to approve before we start.
