Nah, water is perfect. Crystal clear, no algae in sight, 88-92 for last month or so, FC is stable, CC is non-existant. The BBB method is a thing of beauty.
Get some white deposits (which I assume are calcium in some form) on raised bond beam tile near spillover and in a few other spots, but diluted muriatic and a scrub brush takes care of it. Maybe 10 minutes a month of work.
I can live with the 430 calcium and probably more. My post(s) was/were more directed at the future, because evaporation and refill will slowly cause the calcium to rise. Unless there is a method to lower calcium levels other than draining, I'll need to drain it sometime, probably sooner than I'd like. Since that is the case, I was trying to find out if something went wrong and/or there were ways to protect against high calcium levels to avoid in the future. I take it from the responses that nothing likely went wrong, and there is likely no way to avoid it in the future...just the way it goes, which I can live with.
