    If you're using the kit Ben sells, don't waste your time and gas going to a pool store--your test results will be much more accurate. Your calcium level is a little high...it's probably okay for now, but if you let your TA and pH get high, you may end up with a milky pool. The answer to lowering it is drain/refill.....but whatever you do, I would steer clear of using cal-hypo for chlorine!

    Yeah- Adjust your PH/TA first with acid, wait a couple of days and see if it helps to clear- drain pool as a last resort. (or drain 1/2 whatever...)
