I understand Calcium Carbonate solubility to DECREASE (unlike other salts) with increasing temperature. So I'm thinking my recent bout of WS was precipitated (pun intended) by CYA of 60, chlorine to top of LQ's white tube below funnel, CH of >350 and pH too high of near 8
AND high (100F) ambient air temperature for days. Though the pool water was in mid 80's the liquidator walls and supply tubing would be hotter and maybe this helps explain their build-up of White Stuff (WS)?
My other chemical parameters were out of wack, but I'm thinking the high temps may contribute as well by further reducing the Calcium Carbonate solubility in the lines and valve areas.
Folks who DON'T get WS, may have cooler ambients?
FWIW, my WS aggressively dissolves in Muriatic acid, but not in Vinegar.
Thoughts?
