Very sorry for all. I feel your pain. There is nothing that can fix it. We did an eco finish and have not closed in for the past 2 winters. One guy posted that white fiber glass was the right choice. I guess so!

I believe the chemicals breakdown the gel coat of a fiberglass finish. So I blame the pool manufacturer mostly bc pools guys don’t know about this until it’s too late and their is nothing they can really do.

Hi all. So we did the eco finish last summer and decided not to winterize it. We live in NC so we had a choice. It did not fade. I’m convinced it was a bad chemical mixture during the winterizing process. I like the eco finish look just not happy about the cost to a new pool. Next time. If we move I will never buy a fiberglass pool. Wishing you better luck. I know. It’s super frustrating.

Lesson learned the hard way for sure. The eco finish looks nice, hope it lasts for more than 5 years!

Hi! We never figured it. Very frustrating. We just did an eco finish this summer.

Thanks. I will give it a try. A regular cotton cloth?

Thank you for your reply. Yes, the chemistry was balanced right away. I guess we were wishing it would get better on its own. I was asked for a chemistry log which I don't have. We had a professional winterizer it, I will try to get them to address but its a uphill battle with these guys! We got a quote for a an ECO finish and it was 8K for a 12/24 pool. Way to much for us. I will research calcium silicate deposits. I appreciate any help!!

Hello, I have a River fiberglass pool. This is our second summer of use. After we took off the winter cover we noticed most the walls and the bottom were bleached out. We tried giving it a couple of months to get the water chemistry correct. Its not calcium either because its not rough to touch... We cant get the River pool guys back out to look. Apart, from painting it I don't know what to do. Please advise....
