A Recent Glass Pool Tile Calcium Removal Job in Tempe

Giggi contacted Arizona Bead Blasting about calcium buildup on the turquoise glass tile surrounding her Tempe swimming pool. After approximately three years, the mineral deposits had begun hiding the beautiful color and reflective finish of the glass.

Glass pool tile requires a careful approach because its smooth, reflective surface can show scratches or damage more readily than traditional pool tile. We selected controlled, low-pressure salt blasting using Kieserite mineral media to remove the calcium.

The calcium removal took approximately an hour and a half. As the deposits came off, the turquoise glass became visible again. And throughout the job, Ginger, Giggi's dog, kept watch from her poolside cushion.

The Result

After approximately an hour and a half of careful salt blasting, the calcium buildup that had accumulated over three years was removed from Giggi's turquoise glass pool tile. The mineral deposits had been hiding the tile's beautiful color, but with the waterline cleaned, the vibrant turquoise glass was visible again.

Glass pool tile requires special attention because its smooth, reflective surface can be more sensitive than traditional ceramic or porcelain tile. By using controlled, low-pressure salt blasting with Kieserite mineral media, we were able to remove the calcium while taking care with the glass surface. And of course, Ginger was nearby, keeping an eye on the progress.

Pool Tile Calcium Removal in Tempe Arizona

Calcium buildup is a common problem for swimming pools throughout Tempe and the East Valley. Arizona's mineral-rich hard water can leave stubborn white deposits along the waterline, gradually hiding the color and appearance of glass, ceramic, porcelain, and mosaic pool tile.
