I normally don't have any issues maintaining our pool chemistry. I used liquid chlorine and muriatic from Leslie's. Alkalinity is around 90-110, Ph in the low/middle 7's, free Chlorine 4-5. All is good, the white gunite is spotless, the water is crystal clear and great to swim in. This morning, just because I haven't done it in several months, I checked the calcium (Taylor K-2005). Holy Smokes, it was about 750-800! I don't see any symptoms - no scale or anything, although the pool is about 10 months old. What's a simple, cost-effective way to deal with this (if I should at all)? The well water we normally use to top off the pool is hard; that's evidently the source of the calcium. The only way I can get non-well-water is to have water trucked in, which is VERY expensive.
Aren't there scale blocker/removers that prevent calcium scale buildup, even though they don't eliminate the calcium itself? There must be something out there.
