Calcium Hardness too high, cloudy water and /
or scaling may occur.
Draining SOME water will help.
NEVER completely drain your pool. Serious damage will occur.
Always check with your local pool builder. |
All dosages are approximate. Remember to retest the
Calcium Hardness the
following day, letting the filter run continuously & adjust as necessary.

Remember that
the source water for filling your pool can have certain properties that can
cause chemical changes as you top off your pool; especially calcium hardness
& metals & minerals. If your tap water is "soft" or "hard", those
chemical make ups, make a difference. The use of water softeners makes
a difference. PLEASE tell us this information when you contact us so
that we can better help you.
