This is a really great process, but for other viewers, don't use that particular drill attachment on older polished ceramic tile. I used the same exact one on mine (from watching another video on TH-cam) and it scratched the tile pretty badly. But, the drill technique is a great idea, and that attachment seems to work really well for other types of tile. I am looking for a stripping attachment that is less abrasive for my tile.
Someone else said it removed the color on their tile. I'm sure it makes a difference on what kind of tile you have. I don't know what I have but it didn't seem to harm it at all.
Proceed with caution. If you have any extra tiles left over from the install, try it on one of those first. I managed to strip off the calcium, glazing and color almost all at the same time. On the plus side, it doesn't take long to figure out that it doesn't work for your particular tiles, so there is that...
Thank you!
Glad it helps.
Great job 👏🏼
thank you!
Could i use those process on flagstone without damaging?
Fast process for removing scale. Did you ever get the scale out of the grout between the tiles? If so.....how did you do it?
You can get it with the stripping disk it just takes a little more time.
Nice. Can you provide a link to the disk that you are using?
I bought mine from Home Depot so I don't have a link.
What do you suggest using on waterfall rocks, which are man made?
I can't help with that. I don't have those.

Did you find a different stripping attachment that is less abrasive and if so did it get rid of the calcium deposit on your pool tiles?
Remove the calcium and the tile glaze right along with it. Lmao
I would’ve be curious why you have the deposits. My pool is only a year old and so far no,problems. I definitely want to prevent this.
It's our terrible AZ water.
This work on brick you think?
My guess would be yes... but I would test it on a spot you can't see first to make sure.
What is the description of the scraper? A paint scraper? Is it a replaceable edge or blade? That seems to do the bulk of the removal
It is just a handle that holds a square razor blade. Like this one: amzn.to/48vZSQn

what about the calcium left on the grouting? They are pretty obvious in the video.
That comes off too. I was pressed for time before my pool guy came to pressure wash and refill my pool so I didn't do it. But it does come off.
Don't try this on glass tiles.
Increase your volume please
I got a mic and learned to normalize my audio. I'm getting better.
Scratches porcelain tile
I tried this on my pool tile and it removed the color from my tile and turned it white.
Are you tiles painted? It didn't seem to have any effect on my tiles.
Sounds like you have ceramic tile, porcelain tile has color all the way through and is harder/ not as delicate

Oooooooooohhhhh!
