What is Oxidation and Cobalt?
Oxidation of fiberglass or painted surfaces cause a milky or chalky appearance. Oxidation is not just the result of high chlorine levels, but high chlorine levels combined with a low pH.The black spots in fiberglass pools are Cobalt Oxide stains. The cobalt comes from osmosis of the gel coat which leeches some of the cobalt catalyst from the fiberglass (polyester) resin. Osmosis is also characterised by blisters at the site of the black spot. The Osmosis that causes these black spots (cobalt) is also attributed to high chlorine levels and low pH.
Why Low-Chlo works the best!
Our system uses very little chlorine and it is introduced downstream away from the pool body. Our system kills everything and the small amount of chlorine oxidizes off the dead bacteria. The system also dechlorinates, so the water sent back to the pool body is less than 1ppm chlorine (equivalent to residential drinking water).For everyone that has a fiberglass or vinyl liner pool I'm sure you've experienced some type of color fading in a very short period of ownership of the pool. The number one complaint about fiberglass and vinyl liner pools is that their colors do not last.
