So, my fill water CH was around 275 to 300. So it's only gone up slightly . . . probably thanks to the chlor hypo shock I've used on occasion, and the trichlor tablets I float.
My results are as follows:
FC: .6
CC: 0
Ph: >8.0
TA: 110
CH: 325
CYA: <30
I check the readings, once a week at least, sometimes twice. One thing I've noticed is that my Ph always creeps up every week. I have to add 1/2 to 1 gallon of Acid a week to get the Ph to my Target level of about 7.6 to 7.4. Additionally, I brought the CYA up too slowly . . . I've had to add quite a bit of Chlorine every week as well because the chlorine levels get low. I have since added some more CYA and my levels are up around 40 now. However, the readings above are consistent with what I've been getting since the pool was re-plastered and filled. I've essentially added chlorine and acid every week . . . so, I'm confused what would be causing the Calcium Scaling. I've tried to keep my CSI in the "Ideal" range, but the pool chemistry just keeps changing drastically every week.

Also, I have tried pouring some CLR on the tile and scrubbing it with a brush . . . didn't work very well.
