Greetings,
It's been 6 years since I last drained my pool and since I was having my tile cleaned and replacing my filters, it seemed like a good time to do a drain/fill. My question is about calcium levels. My calcium levels have been way high for several years. I know when I last drained/filled, initially the calcium was too low and I added some to get closer to a normal amount. But over time, the calcium just kept getting higher. I am using liquid chlorine. Maybe there isn't anything I can do about that but I don't know if the calcium builds up over time due to evaporation or leaching from the pool shell? The pool is refilling as we speak and I'm not sure if I should add any calcium on "startup" with fresh water.
Thanks!
