Calcium hardness treatment

By using inferior chemicals you are just badly complicating the process of maintaining a pool. Chlorox is only 5% in strength while swimming pool chlorine is 12%. Think about it for a minute - which do you think is going to work better and faster? Use baking soda if needed it may in fact be cheaper than the brands in pool stores. Use muriatic acid or dry acid t adjust your pH and alkalinity. Do the job the right way after all you have invested $$$$ in your pool. You control hardness by changing the water in the pool either fully or partially when the old water reaches hardness saturation. You need to have the water tested for hardness and follow recommendations of the pool store in your area as to proper time to drain and change. Example: Central Coast of Calif. ~ recommended change level for most areas is 1200 1500 ppm or close to that. The tap water in some area of the Central Coast come in at 1800 ppm. So you run the pool as normal until you start having difficulty in controlling various chemical levels then dump the water. Sometimes a person will tell you that the pool water tastes salty. That is the key to have the water tested. Most pool tech will not test regularly for hardness.

The amount of Clorox (chlorine) you need for a 24-foot round pool depends on the pool's current chlorine levels and the manufacturer's recommendations. Generally, you might start with about 1-3 pounds of chlorine shock for a pool of that size to raise the chlorine level appropriately. Always test the water first and adjust accordingly, following the instructions on the Clorox product label for specific dosing guidelines.
