Calcium Hardness by The Pool Place is used to raise calcium hardness in swimming pool water. Low calcium hardness may cause pool water to become corrosive which can result in etched plaster, corrosion of equipment and fixtures or may cause metallic stains. The Ideal range is 200 to 400 parts per million (ppm). The minimum calcium hardness level is 150 ppm.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE

- Broadcast product over the surface of the water while the pump is running. Do not pre-dissolve this product.
- Do not add this product on the same day that either a pH increaser or an alkalinity increaser has been added to the pool water.
