Fiberglass pool chalking
Why is my fiberglass pool’s shell fading? This is a common concern that fiberglass pool owners may have to face at some point.
This fading can start as a white material forming on the shell of the pool and can also make the water appear cloudy. The white film can also build up in the filter which will require constant cleaning. This can happen to any fiberglass pool because of age, excessive chemical treatments (especially overchlorination) or more commonly, a combination of these concerns.
If you view a film of white or greyish-white material on the sides of your pool around the tile line, 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 to white over time. Calcium scale deposits occur when your water has too much calcium or from hard water. The white metal depostis are typically are there from calcium deposits that have built up over the years.
Maintaining a great looking fiberglass swimming pool means keeping the water in balance by keeping the right chemicals and systems to help control the factors that make calcification possible. One such platform is the Vibranz fiberglass pool care system.
