Why is my pool turning white

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

This whitening can start as a white material 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 constant 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 see a film of white or greyish-white grime on the walls of your pool around the tile line, that's calcium. Calcium can build up and leach into the shell’s gelcoat. As fiberglass swimming pools begin to get older the gelcoat or color will slowly fade to white over time. Calcium scale deposits occur when your water an over abundance of calcium or from hard water. The white flakes are usually are there from calcium deposits that have accumulated over time.

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