Details

Ensure your water remains at the optimal hardness level with In The Swim’s 25 lbs. bag of Calcium Hardness Increaser. Don’t let your water become excessively soft, as it can lead to corrosive effects on your pool surfaces, the growth of scale deposits, and cloudy and dull water appearance. By utilizing this Calcium Hardness Increaser, you can effectively prevent these issues, maintaining the integrity and clarity of your pool water.

Proper Levels for Calcium Hardness

It is essential to monitor and maintain the calcium levels to ensure optimal pool conditions. When the calcium level falls below 150 ppm, consider adding approximately six pounds per 10,000 of In The Swim’s Calcium Hardness Increaser to increase the ppm by around 50. The recommended range for calcium in your water typically falls between 180 and 220 ppm.

However, it is important to avoid adding excessive Calcium Hardness Increaser. Keeping the ppm below 400 is crucial. High levels of calcium and magnesium, commonly found in hard water, can lead to deposits on surfaces, lights, and ladders, ultimately resulting in cloudy water. By managing the calcium hardness within the appropriate range, you can maintain water clarity and prevent such issues.

Avoiding Calcium Scale

When calcium levels become too high, it can lead to the formation of calcium scaling. This manifests as a white translucent crust along and above the waterline of your pool. To address this, it is advisable to use a Calcium Hardness Increaser while keeping the levels below 400 parts per million (ppm). High calcium levels are often the primary cause of scaling, although high alkalinity, pH, and water temperatures can contribute as well.

If you encounter calcium scale buildup, there are safe solutions available. In The Swim offers products such as pH Increaser, Acid Magic, or Instant Liquid Acid, which can effectively dissolve the calcium scale buildup and mitigate the issue. Add 6 lb of In The Swim’s Calcium Hardness Increaser for every 10,000 gallons of water you are trying to treat. It’s essential to follow the recommended guidelines and use these products in accordance with the instructions for optimal results and safety.
