Just got a pebbletec pool finished in July. I’m already starting to see calcium buildup on the tile in my spillover spa and a little bit in the pool. I’ve been good about brushing and balancing the chemicals to the best of my ability. I have a saltwater pool. Any idea what could be causing the calcium buildup? My calcium level is about 250… the pool stores -and my builder say that level is fine but I’m not sure. I see trouble free pool suggest much higher calcium levels then what I have. Any help would be great! The levels trouble free pool suggests for PH, Alkalinity and Cya are much different than what pebble Tec recommends do I’m definitely confused!
