Greetings fellow pool peeps! I have a question for you about Calcium. I live near the mountains in hot AZ and we have very hard water. Like out of the tap reading 500 CH. So obviously, even with a fresh fill, my CH is already going to be high. I did a partial drain last fall to get it back down.
I’m not having issues with chemistry, etc, but today did a measure and my CH is at 875. It’s way too hot to drain again right now but once it cools down, I’ll likely do it again. Sigh. Seems like an every few month thing. In my attempt to not waste the deserts most valuable resource, I want to ask the pros. At what level of CH is it considered really bad- like harmful to my equipment bad- that I should act and drain?
Thanks!
Kim
