Fiberglass pool gelcoat problems

Why is my fiberglass pool’s shell fading? This is a common concern that fiberglass pool customers may have to deal with at some point.

This dulling can start as a white film forming on the walls of the pool and can also make the water appear hazy. The white particulate can also build up in the filter which will require frequent cleaning. This can happen to any fiberglass pool because of age, over doing chemical treatments (especially overchlorination) or more frequently, a combination of these issues.

If you view a film of white or greyish-white grime on the sides of your pool around the tile line, that's calcium. Calcium can build up and leach into the shell’s gelcoat. As fiberglass pools begin to age the gelcoat or color will slowly fade to white over time. Calcium scale deposits happen when your water an over abundance of calcium or from hard water. The white metal depostis are usually from calcium deposits that have built up over time.

Keeping a beautiful fiberglass pool requires keeping the water in balance by maintaining the right chemicals and systems to help eliminate the processes that make calcification possible. One such system is the Vibranz fiberglass pool care system.
