Raising Calcium level with cal-hypo

[dawndenise]

Thanks to duraleigh's advice, and that of others, I've been able to move my CH reading from about 80 as of 6/13 (pool store actually tested it at 50 ) to my target of 200 a month later using 73% calhypo as my chlorination source. By 7/25, I was at 220 and switched over to bleach until my SWG became operational. It IS a slow steady process.

traugh...As near as I can tell from my logs, it took me over 10# of calhypo (some 62.4% and some 73%) to move my reading a mere 10ppm.

Sandy, that's pretty interesting, as I am now up 30ppm CH after 11 lbs. of cal-hypo (27K gallon pool, Pebblesheen, same Starite filter as you).

Now my TA dropped by 10 ppm to 70, so I just added 4 lbs. baking soda tonight to bring it up a bit. I'm not sure how TA might effect CH... I guess that's why they say YMMV. Thanks for sharing.
