Hello, I did a search for this but didn't find anything like my situation...
Just received my Taylor test kit (first "real" test kit I've had in 13 yrs of pool ownership) and tested my Calcium Hardness. It is very high, 460 ppm.
Pool size is 38,500 gallons. I have a little bit of hard water staining at the water line but nothing terrible. Other than Calcium Hardness, I have no other water problems/issues.
On our property, we only have well water. I do have a domestic water softener for the home plumbing. The pool is normally re-filled (to make up for backwashing, evaporation) from straight well water tap, at the pool pad.
Is it worth it to try and replace some of the pool water using the domestic "softened" water? Or is there a better / easier way to reduce my Calcium Hardness?
