Why is my pool turning white

Why is my fiberglass pool’s shell fading? This is a frequent question that fiberglass pool owners may have to deal with at some point.

This dulling can start as a white film forming on the walls of the swimming pool and can also make the water seem 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, over doing chemical treatments (especially overchlorination) or more commonly, a combination of these concerns.

If you view a film of white or greyish-white film 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 get older 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 usually from calcium deposits that have built up over time.

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