Re: White scale in fibreglass pool Interested in finding out which way you went to get your scale resolved? What did the buffing look like after they did the few test patches? Did they use any special cutting compounds? Thanks and regards, Fleetz

Re: White scale in fibreglass pool Hi Scott, Thanks for that. I suppose it would have nice to have known about this from the get go and it could have been avoided. The pool manufacturer has been great in assisting me as they had not experienced the issue until mine happened about over a year...

Re: White scale in fibreglass pool Hi Folks, Sorry for the delay in replying to your post. I still have not applied D-Scale we have had a long and very protracted wet season which has only recently broken. There was no point applying D-Scale with rain we have been having. I have also have...

Re: White scale in fibreglass pool Hi Roxy, Will do. I spoke with the chemist of the pool chemical manufacturer of the D-Scale to check what water condition the pool needs to be in before I apply the chemicals. Probably in 4-6 weeks time so it will be a while before I can report back. But...

Re: White scale in fibreglass pool I have also used on a test patch 1200 grit wet and dry and it took two good goes to get the scale off and I mean probably a total of 5 minutes over the two sessions to get back into the gel coating. I will get a steel putty knife an give a section a try...

Re: White scale in fibreglass pool Hi Roxy, Apologies for the tardy reply. No I have not resolved this issue yet. I am about to apply a product called D-Scale and will let you know if it produces results. It takes about 10- 12 days to do it's business and I am currently just checking with...

Re: White scale in fibreglass pool My local pool guy was able to provide the results you are after. He has been very helpful and is trying everything at his disposal. FC 0.0 ppm CC 0.0 ppm PH 7.4 TA 60 CH 200 CYA 0 The clorinator has been switched off for the last three days to remove...

Re: White scale in fibreglass pool Thanks for the feedback. What type of testing tools are you suggesting are available and should be used?? If I can find the source of these then I might be able to contact the distributor and send a sample to one they have supplied a system to. Regards...

Re: White scale in fibreglass pool It is not a white band as such. As I stated earlier if I drop the pool level where ever it is dropped to the white scale exists. Intially I thought it was just a band up the top but it is the surface of the whole pool. We have tried Stainaway in in most...

Re: White scale in fibreglass pool Hi, An update. No progress so far, what I didn't realise at the time of the first post was the scale is not limited to the top 15mm indeed it is the whole pool. As you drop the water and the fibreglass dries you see the white scale. You can feel it below the...

Re: White scale in fibreglass pool Thanks for the reply. I will see if I can get the info from the pool shop guy and post it. REgards, Paul

I have a 2 and 1/2 year old fibreglass pool which has a white scale when it dries. When wet it is hard to see. If I drop the pool level a solid white deposit is seen when the water dries. This may or may not be a coincidence but it appeared after I put a Sparkle Pill in the pool a day ago. Ran...
