We have a small fiberglass pool (10 x 20). Largest we could fit on our large lot due to septic system. We love everything about the pool. We went with fiberglass because we have two golden retrievers that LOVE to swim! We have a problem with (we think) calcium buildup on the sides of the pool. Has anyone tried to power wash their fiberglass pool??? I've read articles that say NO and others that say yes. Don't want to damage the pool. Any input? Thanks
 
Welcome to TFP! :wave: If you are seeing a discoloration on the sides, it may or may not be something you can change. Some gelcoats seem to change with age, mine did. But tell us more about how you test your water and post a full set of water test results for us. It might give us some clues. You can also post some pics of the gelcoat.

Be sure to bookmark our Pool Care Basics as well.

Pressure washers and pools, or their equipment, are seldom a good mix.
