Thorough Pool Tile Cleaning in St. George, UT, and Mesquite, NV
Restore the sparkle to your pool with Equinox Pool Service. We specialize in pool tile cleaning in St. George, UT, and Mesquite, NV, using safe, effective, and environmentally friendly methods. Here’s how our expert team brings your pool tiles back to pristine condition:
Step 1 – Lower Pool Water Level
Lower the pool water approximately 6 to 12 inches to expose the tile line and prepare for cleaning.
Step 2 – Media Blasting
Media blasting is the safest, most effective, and environmentally friendly method for cleaning pool tile and Pebble Tec surfaces. At Equinox Pool Service, our technicians use a very soft mineral (PF2) under water pressure to safely remove calcium, mold, mildew, algae, and other deposits from pool tiles.
For harder surfaces, such as Pebble Tec or rock, we use a slightly more aggressive mineral (PT2) to achieve outstanding results. Minerals are harder than calcium yet softer than glass or ceramic tile. We blast the calcium away and literally polish your tile in the same process.

AFTER
After blasting, our technicians use a patented high-volume pump and water filter to extract all calcium and debris from the pool. Once the pool is clean, we refill it to the proper water level.
Average Cleaning Time
Most average-sized pools take three to five hours to complete, depending on factors such as:
- Severity of hard water and calcium buildup
- Number of water features (e.g., waterfalls, slides, spa tiles, or water statues)
How Water Quality Affects Tile Buildup
The condition of your pool water plays a major role in how fast calcium and other deposits form on your pool surfaces. Typically, buildup can appear within six months to a year. To keep your tiles looking like new, we recommend a tile cleaning and polish every couple of years, combined with regular weekly tile maintenance.
Temporary Cloudiness
After cleaning, pool water may appear cloudy for 12 to 24 hours, depending on your pool’s equipment and turnover rate. Our team likes to follow up the next day—by phone or on-site if needed—to ensure your pool is functioning properly.
