That White Ring Around Your Pool? It’s Calcium.
Lakeway’s hard water leaves stubborn calcium buildup on pool tile, stone coping, and water features. It starts as a faint waterline mark and gets worse every season — until your pool looks dirty no matter how often you clean it.
Scrubbing with a brush won’t fix it. Pumice stones scratch your tile. Acid is dangerous and can damage glazing. There’s only one method that actually works without damaging the surface: professional bead blasting.
That’s what we do.

Why Bead Blasting Beats the Alternatives
| Method | Result | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Pumice stone (DIY) | Slow, partial | Scratches tile permanently |
| Muriatic acid | Fast but harsh | Damages tile glazing, dangerous |
| Pressure washing | Doesn’t remove calcium | Can damage Pebble Tec |
| Bead blasting | Removes calcium completely | Safe for all tile types |
Glass bead and salt media blasting is the method recommended by the pool industry for one reason: it works without causing damage. We use lead-free, eco-friendly media that’s safe for your pool water, your landscaping, your pets, and your family.

What Lakeway Homeowners Tell Us After the Job
“It looks like a different pool.”
The most common reaction we hear. Homeowners who’d been looking at a chalky white waterline for years are often surprised the tile underneath is actually a deep blue, green, or earth tone they’d forgotten about. A few hours of bead blasting and the pool looks freshly built again.
“Why did I wait so long?”
A lot of Lakeway pool owners try pumice stones, brushes, and even acid for years before calling us. By the time they do, they’re amazed at how quick and easy the professional process is — usually 2 to 3 hours start to finish, no chemicals, no draining, no risk to the tile.
“My pool service couldn’t fix this.”
Weekly pool maintenance is great for water chemistry, but it doesn’t remove calcium buildup. That requires bead blasting equipment that pool service companies generally don’t carry. We work alongside your existing pool service to handle the calcium issue your weekly tech can’t.
“I thought I’d have to replace the tile.”
Pool tile replacement runs $5,000 to $15,000+ for a typical Lakeway pool. Bead blasting is a fraction of that and the tile looks new when we’re done. Many of our customers came looking for a replacement quote and left having spent far less than they expected.

Common Questions
How long does it take?
Most standard pools are done in 2–3 hours. Larger pools with waterfalls can take 4–6.
Do you need to drain the pool?
No. We only lower the water level 6–10 inches below the tile line. You can refill and swim the same day.
Is bead blasting safe for Pebble Tec?
Yes, when done correctly with glass bead media at low pressure. Avoid anyone who suggests acid washing or sandblasting on Pebble Tec — it permanently damages the finish.
How often should I clean my pool tile?
In Lakeway’s hard water, most pool owners need it every 2–3 years. Some pools with heavier scale need it annually.
Do you seal the tile after cleaning?
We can, but honestly we usually don’t recommend it. Most sealers haze over within a year and look worse than the calcium did. We can discuss your specific situation during the assessment.
