I’m thinking about increasing CH to 150, 175, or maybe even 200 to perhaps help the heater (see thread here) and also move CSI closer to 0.0 (even though pool is vinyl)
Current tests:
I’m a little nervous to add anything to the pool for fear of contaminants such as iron or copper. Are contaminants a concern with calcium chloride? Swim clear brand ? Leslie’s or other ?
If I’m just raising to 150, I could use cal-hypo but it would take about 9lbs to get there (could be done over a few sunny weeks I suppose)
Thoughts?

It's summer so you aren't using the heater, are you? CalHypo may be cheaper- do check. On days you add calcium don't add much else as the calcium can cloud up for a day or so.
