Oh, no! An acid wash would not be the best thing... it dissolves carbonate structure (plaster etc.) and could shorten the life of your pool surface.
If the dreaded green lines are composed of organic material (such as algae residue) try maintaining a higher than normal concentration of chlorine in your pool and brush the lines every day. Eventually they'll fade and should disappear completely.
