    Default Calcium deposits?

    Is this a calcium deposit? (see attached photo).

    Before I was introduced to this site, I used Cal Hypo to deal with an algae problem. I have since been testing regularly, keeping chlorine levels up with my SWCG and pH and alk balanced with muriatic acid. I have had the pool open for 10 months, and had some growing pains with the SWCG, but seem to have a good balance now.

    My numbers this morning were:
    FC: 9.0
    CC: 0.5
    TC: 9.5
    pH: 8.2
    Alk: 130 (I have since added 1 gal muriatic acid-will retest in a couple hours)
    Cal: 420
    Cya: 60
    Temp: 78
    Salt: 3200

    My typical readings throughout August were:
    FC: 8.0
    CC: 0.5
    pH: 7.8
    Alk: 100
    Cal: 420
    Cya: 65
    Temp: 83
    Salt: 3200

    Can anyone tell me just what the build-up is (in the photo) and how I should remove it?

    Thanks,
    Larry
