65 pounds of 'Calcium Hardness Control' to bring that up.
Vinyl pools dont need to adjust hardness levels for any reason.. waste of $$$


Then, a bottle of Metal Away followed by 8 capfuls of Alum (some sort of sequestering agent)
Dont know the brand of metal away so cant read whats in it unless you provide a link...


aluminum sulfate That would of been a last resort... What a labor intensive issue that stuff creates. I would not want it in my pool but good luck.. Youll have fun trying to vacuum the bottom of the pool after everything settles..

Would of rather you tried the blue stuff which is a cationic (positively charged) polymer. PolydimethyldiallyammoniumChloride
