Fiberglass pools are popular for their durability and low maintenance, but they can encounter specific issues. First, surface staining often occurs due to minerals or chemical imbalances. This can be resolved by maintaining proper water balance and occasionally using stain-removal treatments. Second, gel coat blistering may develop from trapped moisture beneath the surface. Regularly checking and addressing drainage around the pool can prevent this. Third, bulging pool walls can arise from improper installation or excessive backfill pressure, requiring professional assessment and, if necessary, correction of the structural support. Fourth, cracking might appear, generally due to ground movement or installation errors, often needing professional repair and adjustment of surrounding support. Finally, water chemistry fluctuations can affect the pool’s longevity; consistent monitoring and adjustment of pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels are essential to prevent and address imbalances. Addressing these issues proactively ensures that a fiberglass pool remains a valuable, long-lasting backyard feature.
