i have this white stuff on my sheer descent wall which I believe is calcium. How can I get it off. I tried power washing it before I removed my cover but no luck.

A picture may help us provide a viable answer.
Is the wall tiled, stone, pebble or ????
Is it just a whitish haze over the wall or are there localized raised deposits? Is it an actual shear descent - with a very narrow horizontal slot at the top which pushes water outward, away from the wall - or does water continuously flow on the wall when the water feature is on?

I have had good luck using a pumice stone. Be sure to keep the stone wet or you may damage the tile.
i will try to get pics, been raining all day but it's Permacon stone on my wall. It builds up in certain areas. I guess the water splashing from the sheer up against the stone. I also get it on the liner just where the sheers are.

Can you post a full set of test results from your test kit? Maybe we can suggest a tweak to your water chemistry to minimize the buildup.
What test kit are you using?
A pumice stone may work. Possibly, a diluted acid wash may also help - but you'd have to remove any large crusty areas first. I'm not familiar with that stone, you may want to try the pumice stone and/or diluted acid wash on an inconspicuous area first.
