I have a calcium buildup around the negative edge spa. A wire brush did not work. My plan is to drain the pool a few feet and try CLR. Calcium crystals only show up in spa. Any suggestions about how to best treat this?
Also I have been mostly using TFP protocols and recommended test kits for a year. I was traveling a fair amount and I used Chorine Tabs over the summer and it drove my CYA from 40 to 100. My understanding is I have to completely drain the entire pool to fix CYA and avoid tabs like the plague. We have a drought in Austin, so I have not done this yet. Since it is over 108 degrees in Austin and "an area with 90+ pool water temperatures and extreme sunlight exposure 10+ ppm of CYA a month can be lost through degradation," I am considering waiting and seeing if it will drop. Is this a bad idea to wait?
Test kit I use a Taylor 2006c.
