How do you get white scale off a fiberglass pool
Why is my fiberglass pool’s shell whitening? This is a frequent question 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 cloudy. 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, excessive chemical treatments (especially overchlorination) or most commonly, a combination of these concerns.
If you view a film of white or greyish-white grime on the walls of your pool around the waterline, that's calcium. Calcium can build up and leach into the shell’s gelcoat. As fiberglass pools begin to get older the gelcoat finish 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 from calcium deposits that have accumulated 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 occur. One such platform is the Vibranz fiberglass pool care system.
