This is accomplished by soaking plastic beads in a salt brine to capture the sodium, and then the incoming water exchanges the calcium for the sodium through processes that are above my pay grade. Just adding salt to water makes it "feel" softer but does not remove anything from the water.

Hi friends, this is year 2 with my gunnite pool (pebblesheen coating on top). I tested for calcium hardness for the first time in a few months and its pretty darn high (1300) which isn't surprising because the water here in vegas is hard. I'm planning to drain a portion of my pool. Pool math is...
Fc 2.0 Ph 7.6 Ta 100 Ch 375 Cya 60 We use well water that's gone through an iron breaker and water softener to fill. What's best method to reduce calcium hardness as we are noticing some scaling on vinyl liner in 2 corners? I assume this is from our ch levels? Is Scale Free a good product...
What if you were to install a water softener into the pool plumbing, then when the CH gets too high, you run a couple batches of water through the softener to remove the CH. I could then see that if you also ran your auto filler through the softener you should be able to stay on top of the CH...
The most common strengths are 8.25% (household bleach), 10%, and 12.5%. The higher the strength, the less you need for an equivalent increase in FC level. For example, 2 cups of 3% liquid chlorine will raise the FC as much as 1 cup of 6% liquid chlorine. Many large retailers like Wal-Mart, Lowe’s, and Home Depot now carry liquid chlorine.
Manage your CSI and you will be OK. If you know you are going to have a large rain event (which I know Katy TX has occasionally) lower your water level and refill with rain water. That way you will either maintain your current calcium hardness level or possibly reduce it.
The main purpose of CH in a spa is to reduce the tendency of oils and organics to form foams. 150ppm CH seems to be a good balance between foam inhibition and saturation index for a spa. The main drawback of high calcium hardness levels is that it eventually leads to scale formation inside the heater which reduces heater efficiency and ...
Murrieta, CA. May 28, 2016. #1. Gents, I'm starting to get white crusty deposits on the bottom of my pool and it appears my calcium hardness is too high. It's supposed to be between 200 and 400 and mine's reading 600. Leslie's wanted to sell me a half gallon bottle of "Scale and Stain Control" for $45.00, but I'm sure I can find something a LOT ...
