Seasonal Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Seasonal Care for Year-Round Brilliance

When it comes to how to maintain a Fiberglass pool, it varies with the seasons. As pool owners transition into summer, it’s essential to prepare the pool for increased use. This includes a thorough inspection, a potential increase in filtration time, and ensuring all equipment is in working order. During winter, even if the pool is not in use, maintaining water balance and running the pump periodically is important to prevent damage.

Combatting Common Fiberglass Pool Concerns

Algae is a common adversary when looking to maintain a fiberglass pool. In a fiberglass pool, tackling algae is easier due to the non-porous surface, but it still requires vigilance. Should you spot algae, a shock treatment and brushing can usually rectify the situation quickly.

Staining can occasionally occur in fiberglass pools, often due to metal objects left in the pool or imbalanced water chemistry. Regularly monitoring the water and avoiding leaving metal items in the pool can prevent most staining issues.

Cracks or leaks, while rare in fiberglass pools, should be addressed promptly. Small surface cracks are often cosmetic and can be repaired easily, but larger issues might require professional attention. PoolForce’s team of experts can provide guidance and assistance in these situations.
