Evaporation leaves dissolved minerals behind, and high calcium hardness or high pH speeds up scale formation. Will tile cleaning damage glass tile? No. We choose methods suited to the tile and test a small area first on delicate surfaces. How long do results last? With balanced water and regular brushing, a clean waterline can stay clear for many months. Is scale worse in DFW? Yes. North Texas water is generally harder than Houston water, so DFW pools tend to scale faster. Do I need to drain the pool? No. Tile cleaning is done with the pool full or only slightly lowered. ## Ready for a crystal clear pool? Tell us about your pool and we will get back to you fast with a free quote.
