The Numbers:
CH 520
pH 7.6
TA 190 (down from 290 after two weeks of aerating and two gallons of Muriatic Acid to lower the pH)
My fill water comes from my well and the CH out of the well is 430. I'm assuming that my CH would only get higher after water evaporates and concentrates over time.
My water is very clear but feels extremely hard to my skin. The water in this part of the state is extremely hard...hot water tanks fill up with minerals quickly around here.
Is there any way to lower the CH with chemicals? I've had the extreme idea of unhooking my water softener tank (after a regen) and hauling it out to the pool and running water through it via a sump pump. I'm sure my Culligan dealer would Crud a brick if he saw me do that.
