Why is my fiberglass pool’s shell fading? This is a frequent concern that fiberglass pool customers may have to face at some point.
This whitening can start as a white material forming on the shell of the pool and can also make the water appear hazy. The white film can also build up in the filter which will require frequent cleaning. This can happen to any fiberglass pool because of age, excessive chemical treatments (especially overchlorination) or more frequently, a combination of these concerns.
If you view a film of white or greyish-white material on the walls of your pool around the tile line, that's calcium. Calcium can build up and leach into the pool’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 metals in the water. The white flakes are usually are there from calcium deposits that have built up over the years.
Keeping a great looking fiberglass swimming pool requires keeping the water in balance by maintaining the right chemicals and systems to help eliminate the processes that make calcification occur. One such platform is the Vibranz fiberglass pool care system.
