    Your biggest problem with the high calcium is that if your TA gets too high, the Calcium may precipitate out of the water, turning your pool to milk.

    Pirate,

    Careful management of your water (which you seem to be doing already) probably will make your high calcium level irrelevant.

    What info I've seen indicates 200 - 400 as an acceptable range.

    Test your fill water for Ca. If it's really high, look for an alternative source (water softeners work).

    Low Ca in your fill water and rainfall should get you down into a safer range soon.

    With your ALK at 80 your calcium level should be fine....just be on the lookout for scaling and inspect your salt cell regularly and acid wash if needed.
