Calcium

Paul,

I noticed both Home Depot and Lowe's carries Calcium Increaser in 5 lb containers for around $7. Not real cheap but will keep you out of the pool store.....

I just bought some in the pool section at Lowe's. $6.44 for a 4 pound container. I'm starting off with 24 pounds because my test kit is not showing any Calcium.


33k gallons, Aquarite, vinyl.

BTW -- Agway - carries the Calcium Chloride Flakes (77-80%) $10 for 50lbs (this is 20 cents a pound). I asked them about pool usage -- they indicated a local large water park / pool buys it by the pallet. I added it by mixing small batches in a bucket to disolve the flakes -- worked like a champ just a minute or so to disolve. Now I have some left over to melt ice this winter.


Agway also sells Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda) $8 for 50lbs.
