    Use the water softener.
    I feel your pain. I have had the same problem.
    The water softener if filled using salt sodium chloride will not hurt your pool.
    If you can drink it you should be able to swim in it.
    The softener exchanges calcium, magnesium and some iron for sodium and
    nothing else.
    I recirculate my pool water thru a softener to avoid future problems
    I have also plumbed my refill water directly from the house water softener.
    My neighbors also must use softened water or suffer the calcium carbonate
    snow.
    Untill you get rid of some calcium your problem will not go away.

    I also think the vacuums swirling the stuff around definitely happens for me in my spa, but I also notice that their filters get clogged with this stuff way before they get filled. If you use the PoolBuster, you have to clean the bag frequently when you are dealing with this type of precipitate.
