Re: Cause of calcium/scale buildup on perimeter tile.
The SWCG causes bubbles in the water during operation. This aerates the water, and drives pH up. That, combined with your very high calcium are producing the scaling.
I can't say where the calcium came from, but it's not produced by the swcg.
There are some instructions for reducing the calcium levels here: http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthr...atment-Process
In the meantime you can reduce the scaling that gets produced by the swcg if you keep your pH levels a little lower. 7.2 or 7.4 maybe.
