Why is my fiberglass pool shell whitening? This is a frequent concern that fiberglass pool customers may have to face at some point.
This fading can start as a white film forming on the shell of the swimming pool and can also make the water seem hazy. The white particulate can also build up in the filter which will require constant cleaning. This can happen to any fiberglass pool because of age, over doing chemical treatments (especially overchlorination) or most frequently, a combination of these issues.
If you see a layer of white or greyish-white grime on the sides of your pool around the waterline, that's calcium. Calcium can build up and leach into the pool’s gelcoat. As fiberglass swimming pools begin to age the gelcoat or color will slowly fade in color over time. Calcium scale deposits occur when your water an over abundance of calcium or from hard water. The white flakes are typically are there from calcium deposits that have built up over the years.
Maintaining 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 platform is the Vibranz fiberglass pool care system.
