I just went to the pool store today to have my water tested. Everything looks good with my pool but I go to the store to have them check it every so often.
Everything was perfect except my Calcium Hardness is at 625 and my CYA is at 200. I live in Phoenix and my pool has usually always had higher levels than normal with this, especially for the CYA. The guy at the store said he would think about draining the pool since the Calcium is high. Although, he said I may be able to get through another Summer fine.
My question is, is high Calcium really a serious issue? I know the CYA is high too but like I said, mine has usually always been high and it seems to fluctuate every time tested. I only have a short amount of time to drain it if I need to because it’s going to start heating up in a few weeks.
My main concern is that I don’t want the pool to turn into a swamp in the Summer and have to wait to acid wash it because of the heat.
My pool is about 30k gallons, probably an overestimate. I have a cartridge filter and use chlorine tablets. The pool was completely drained in fall of 2014 and drained about 3/4 in February of 2017.
Long winded question short, any opinions on if this can wait until 2020 or do I need to rent a pump soon?
Thanks!
Shannon
