How do you lower hardness in pool?
If the calcium is a result of pool chemicals, draining some or all of the pool water will lower the calcium hardness level. If the cause is the fill water, commercial hardness reducers or chelating agents will bond with the calcium to keep it trapped in solution.
What chemicals do you use to treat for hard water in pool?
You do not treat pool water hardness with chemicals. If you have hard water in your area then you need to know what the allowable maximum of water hardness is before the water needs to be changed. You remove or reduce the hardness in water by draining and refilling the pool. K

What does adding calcium chloride flakes do for your pool water?
Calcium chloride increases the hardness of water. Proper hardness is critical to balancing the water in a pool.

Calcium chloride can be purchased at home improvement stores at significant savings over pool supply outlets.
Do I adjust the hardness of a saltwater pool if its high?

What does buffer and added hardness do for a saltwater pool?
Buffer and added hardness do the same thing in a salt water pool as in a fresh water pool. The buffer (sodium bicarbonate aka bicarbonate of soda) stabilizes the pH of your pool so that addition of acid or base doesn't change the pH very much. The hardness, mostly Calcium, helps achieve water balance to make the pool neither deposit (precipitate) excess Calcium Carbonate to your pool surfaces nor corrode (remove) Calcium from your plaster pool surface. The combination of pH, Total Alkalinity (adjusted for Cyanuric Acid), Calcium Hardness, temperature and Total Dissolved Solids determines whether your water is balanced. Just keep these values near their recommended amounts for your pool and you should be fine. If you're a techie and want the full formulas, do a Google search for "Langelier Saturation Index".
