Low Calcium Hardness In Vinyl Pools

Oh wow i was just about to buy calcium carb for my vinyl pool.

Low calcium hardness in vinyl pools. I have read that the ch should be between 200 and 400 but that it does not matter for vinyl pools. Hi i have a vinyl pool i read that calcium hardness is not that important for vinyl pools. Does a salt water generator count. Is it really necessary to have the calcium hardness up to levels in a vinyl pool.

Calcium hardness is also very important to the chemical balancing of your vinyl liner swimming pool. Just tested the water per ben s pool testing kit and my calcium hardness is 60ppm which is low. If a vinyl liner s calcium level is too low this soft water situation could lead to foaming and other water problems and can harm the vinyl. Low calcium as is often the case will cause long term serious damage especially to plaster vinyl liners grout in between tiles metal rails and even concrete decking around the.

It is at 75 ppm. Low calcium levels in the pool. Calcium for a liner pool can be a bit lower than a plaster pool in the range of 150 250 ppm. Thanks for the heads up here.

Just a quick question y all. My ch tested today was 90. My pool is four years old and nobody ever measured total hardness until now. I read above that i only have to add calcium carb to a vinyl lined pool if there is equipment that can be hurt by low hardness.

Is this really needed to keep the water correct or just important for concrete pools. So i am guessing it is the pump etc that would be of concern to a low ch.
