Dealing with efflorescence and tile repair for your pool or deck

The reason for swimming pool tile

Tile repair for your pool or deck is best handled by one of the Charlotte, NC pool companies. Pool tile is very different from bathroom and kitchen tile. It is designed to be much more durable because it must be formulated to be resistant to chipping from ice damage. Pool tile provides an attractive accent to your pool or deck; but more importantly, it creates a pool edge that naturally catches oil and dirt, and is easily cleaned. Without pool tile, you would have a difficult to remove “bathtub” ring in your pool.

White deposits on tile

The technical term for white spots or powdering is efflorescence. This occurs when mineral salts such as calcium and magnesium may leaches out of the grout, or from the tile setting mud. The deposits collect on the front of the tiles. Pool tile efflorescence can be scraped off, and/or removed with muriatic acid. This is a job best left to professional pool companies.
