Calcium hardness I realize is not vital for a vinyl pool according to TPF. Other internet sources say it is because water will find calcium somewhere. Until this year, I never worried about calcium.
Anyways. If I test my ch with the 25ml sample, I come up with 400ppm. I’ve done it a dozen times. If I test with a 10 ml sample, it’s 50ppm. Dozen times again. That’s a big difference. I have pool test strips. Hth and clorox brand. Both of them register my ch as like non existent too. My well water is soft. Hard to believe (get it
) it’s an anomaly for the region. Iron is the only trouble it gives us. I know in all this reading someone is gonna get stuck on test the strips. Don’t use test strips, I get it. But the drop test is wonky. To be absolutely clear, I shouldn’t have as much calcium that the 25ml sample is showing. How would I have got it in there? I’ve not added calcium. NONE! The 15,000 gallons of city water in there is also low in calcium. The pool filler people use a certain metered spigot based on the water chemistry to fill pools.
