I'm so weary of trying to keep this pool balanced! My hardness is through the roof, my SWG quit working (replaced cell this summer, still broken), can't hold chlorine, etc, etc.
After doing some research today on water hardness, I believe all that I am dealing with is due to our unrelenting heat (100+ temps for 60+ days straight) and the fact that my pool self fills with well water, and we haven't had significant rain (and therefore soft water flushing out some of the hard) for months and months and months and months.
Is there anything at all that can be done in drought conditions, to help prevent some of these issues with hardness/chlorine loss due to heat, buildup of calcium (from the well water concentrate)?
