The Bead Blaster
Difference
When it comes to cleaning pool areas and tiles specifically
the average cleaning systems might not work out too well. In fact, it’s common
for homeowners to try and do the work themselves, only to find out that water
and high pressure hoses don’t work to remove certain elements. Calcium, and
mineral deposits that rest on pool surfaces can prove to be stubborn and
difficult to get off. Most end up giving up, while others end up calling in a
professional. Professional pool cleaners will look and assess the damage and
then use what is known as a bead blaster to get the job done right.
For those that aren’t aware of what
soda blasting or
bead blasting is, it’s important to have a basic knowledge. Without a basic
understanding of the process, hiring a professional might be daunting or
painstaking. This type of cleaning works in a good way against tiles and
surfaces because it utilizes very fine
glass beads. The beads are shot out at a
very high pressure and do not hurt the surfaces or cleaning areas. This has to
be done by a professional as it could hurt those that aren’t trained with the
machinery or the protective equipment.

The high pressure blasting is similar to that of water
blasting solutions, however this is not done with water, it’s done with a very
special type of bead.
Now, in regards to
soda blasting, this is a synthetic type
of cleaning that works really well for pools and tile that needs to be cleaned.
Cleaning underlying materials, bricks, stone, with ease and without damaging
existing areas requires this type of blasting. A
soda blaster utilizes the
compound sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) in a high pressure solution that
explodes on a surface at such a force that it cleans without leaving damage.

Whether you need a bead blaster or a soda blaster you’ll
find that the process requires intricate knowledge of machinery and safety.
It’s imperative to call in a professional to help, and not just try to do this
on your own. A professional will be able to get the job done right, without
damaging pool areas, tiles, or hurting anyone. Do it on your own and you run
the risk of hurting yourself, the tiles and much more, not only that, it can be
tricky to control the high pressure streams. A pool tile cleaning professional
can work both of these types of blasting with relative ease, at a price that
isn’t going to break the bank.
