    I'm trying to remember if PolyQuat or something else can remove calcium... it is too high for your pool.

    In the meantime I STRONGLY recommend you keep your T/A where it is, or you may get cloudy water.

    You can use a metal sequesterant (or one marketed at lowering calcium, they are basically the same chemical, HEDP). It won't remove it from the water but it will help make it unreactive so it won't contribute to scaling. After a few weeks of use you should see the tested calcium level go down a bit.
