Hi folks,
I live in Arizona and we have REALLY hard water. My pool is 18 months old and my CH is already at 1425. I’ve only used liquid chlorine too and it’s still that bad.
To add, my 12,000 gallon pool has always drank muriatic acid like a fish (half gallon min). It has been tough keeping up so I’m adding a Stenner pump for acid.
Im starting to get scaling at the waterline. My belief is this is a combination of the high CH and my difficulty keeping up with the acid (harder as the CH rises).
Does anyone have any feedback on my situation? Do I need to drain? I’m not sure my CSI but I suspect it is tough to keep the calcium at bay since I can only run the pH so low. Any ideas?
My pH yo-yos but my target is 7.4. Alkalinity usually around 40-50.
