💦 Is Your Pool Surface Starting to Bubble or Feel Rough? Here’s Why! 💦
Those little bubbles or rough patches on your fibreglass pool aren’t just cosmetic, they’re early signs of gelcoat breakdown and osmosis.
Over time, chemicals, sunlight, and water pressure wear down the coloured fleck in your pool’s gelcoat, making the surface look dull with signs of discoloration. This creates tiny porosity holes, allowing moisture to seep into the fibreglass layers.
That trapped water reacts with pool materials, forming osmosis bubbles that gradually grow larger overtime, leaving your surface feel uneven, and harder to keep clean.
You might even notice cloudy water or itchiness after swimming, both are signs your gelcoat is breaking down.
What you can do:
✅ Always keep your water (pH & chlorine) levels balanced correctly.
✅ Use a pool cover to limit UV damage.
✅ Regularly check for blistering, rough patches or discoloration in the gelcoat.
✅ Contact a professional early to assess and repair before the damage worsens.
