    I was just thinking that the water volume difference would have bearing on it, that's all.

    Thank you, Watermom!

    That's when you add calcium PLUS either sodium bicarbonate (Alk Increaser) or sodium carbonate (pH Increaser) at the same time. You have a vinyl pool, so you NEVER need to add calcium. (Problem solved!)
