Okay thank you, just got a little freaked out because 90 would mean its really high... and 35 is still a little low. I don't want to have to drain my pool and I was going to add a little more stabilizer. Maybe I will add a tiny bit and see if it changes at all next time I test.

That was my initial thought, but how could it be so far off? 50+ ppms?

Hey Adonis, Im in south Florida too and had low calcium hardness last week. I ordered this from Home depot. $35 for 40 pounds. It is 100% calcium chloride pellets. From the manufacturer "Yes, it is 100% calcium chloride with no other additives." I added the amount they told me to on pool math...

Thanks for that, changed my signature! Any calcium Chloride you would recommend? I do have pool math premium, it says my TA should be 70 and and my CH should be 450... is 250 enough?
