At a Glance

BlueLux provides professional pool tile and waterline cleaning in San Diego. Light waterline cleaning is $250, moderate calcium scale removal is $450, and heavy scale or acid treatment starts at $750. This goes beyond routine weekly brushing and is recommended seasonally or as needed based on buildup severity.

What We Clean

Waterline buildup is more than cosmetic. Heavy calcium scale can damage tile grout and become increasingly difficult to remove over time.

Calcium Scale

White or gray crusty deposits caused by San Diego's hard water. The most common waterline problem in our area.

Body Oil & Lotion Ring

Sunscreen, body oils, and cosmetics leave a greasy film at the waterline that traps dirt and discolors tile.

Mineral Staining

Iron, copper, and manganese from fill water or corroding equipment can leave colored stains on tile surfaces.

Algae Residue

Green or black spots along the waterline where algae has taken hold in grout lines and textured tile surfaces.

Our Cleaning Methods

Light Buildup

Professional-grade tile cleaning solution and scrubbing for minor calcium deposits and oil rings. The tile equivalent of a deep clean.

Moderate Scale

Pumice stone treatment for heavier calcium buildup on glass and ceramic tile. Safely removes scale without scratching the tile surface.

Heavy Deposits

Acid-based scale treatment for severe buildup that resists manual cleaning. Applied carefully to avoid damage to grout and surrounding surfaces.
