Orenda SC-1000-QT Scale Control and Metal Chelant

[CavVet]

Let me start by saying that TFP has helped me get my pool chemistry right on target.
pH: 7.6 (and holding for days now....which is amazing).
FC: 6
CC: <.5
TA: 70
CH: 380
CYA: 50 (hoping to get this up to 60)
Salt: 3600
However, before i started testing properly, (and reading this site) i let calcium form along the water line and i have (what i suspect) is calcium nodules on my walls and floor of my pool.


Has anyone tried and had success with a product called: Orenda SC-1000-QT Scale Control and Metal Chelant?

Here is an article from pool school about calcium scaling. Seems the most reliable solution is a drain and acid wash. The scale control treatments take weeks and you have to either bypass the heater or closely monitor your pH.

Thanks AftonJeeper, i have read that section. Unfortunately, draining and acid washing is not in the budget for some time....i was hoping for a reasonable measure of success by using one of those products.

Keeping your pH on the low side, along with keeping your CSI in the negative range (use PoolMath) can help although it may take quite a while.
