Help!, I think I need help, maybe?

Thanks for the information and the advice.

I am always fighting my pH, having to add acid on a regular basis, but I have not been consistent over the last few weeks. Would this contribute to my Calcium skyrocketing? Either way, it is time for me to get back in my routine to prevent this happening in the future.

Since it has been a couple of years since the original fill, it may be time to drain half of my water and fill again.

Again, thank you for the information and your input.

Regards,

Mike

The calcium could WELL be increasing your pH--but why has your calcium risen so high? Is it coming from the walls? If so, you need someone to look at it.

I don't know enough about concrete pools to know why leaching would be occuring, except when the water's cal level is low. Is your salt level too high? Salt is notorious for corroding everything, including concrete.

Experts: Is that possible?

Normally, if you can keep your water under control and balanced consistently, you don't ever need to change it.

Wow, I'm in the exact same situation with TA around 200 and CH at 600. I've let it get away from me but I had to deal with it because my Aquarite Turbocell was corroded.

This has resulted in me adding way too much salt. I'm going to start by draining/refilling a % of the pool water, then get my other numbers in order.

I'm anxious to see what results you get Mike.
