Calcium and hard water

[ColinGallagher]

I have very hard water and when I add water to the pool it raises the Calcium hardness significant (greater than 800ppm). The water gets cloudy. Are there any recommended calcium reduction techniques or chemicals

Ben (Pooldoc) has a method he's been working on to remove the calcium from high-calcium water, but he's the one that would need to explore this with you....sit tight, and hopefully he'll be by soon...

For what it's worth, this is the ONLY practical way to solve the problem, when your fill water is already out-of-bounds.
