Low calcium hardness is increased by adding calcium chloride. The amount needed may be worked out using the calcium chloride calculator.on the link below

divide the correct amount of calcium chloride into 3. Add the first part and circulate the water for at least 4 hours. Test the water again and repeat the process until the desired level is reached.

If your calcium hardness is too high, you have a problem. The only way to reduce the Calcium, is to dilute the pool water. Drain some out and replace it with fresh water. It is not a difficult thing to do but water does cost money. When adding Calcium to your pool water you should add a little at a time and keep testing the Hardness to make sure that you don't go overboard. I hear there are chemicals you can add to keep the calcium in suspension, so that it does not begin to leave deposits in your equipment, etc. This sounds dicey to me and I would recommend either just dilute the pool water or head down to your local pool guru and seek help. Googling calcium chloride results in no reference to the use of this product in a swimming pool. Switch over to a better grade of chlorine and possibly you will not have to use copious quantities to chlorinate your pool.

Don't use calcium chloride. That's the substance used in a product called Damp Rid. (Walmart) and is used to remove humidity from a room. Use calcium hypochlorite. It doesn't dissolve very well but you can find it in the pool section of Walmart, home depot, lowes, etc. The best substance, easily dissolved, is lithium hypochlorite but is harsh on cotton clothes in pure form and can only be found at a pool distributors. Hope this helps.

After adding calcium chloride to a swimming pool, you should wait at least 2 hours before swimming. It is recommended however that a full filtration cycle be allowed before entering the water.

You will have to wait two hours after adding calcium chloride to a pool. The levels will drop after this time and become non-harmful.

I'd wait for at least two hours before going in the pool.

Chlorine is used to disinfect Swimming Pools.


How do you use chlorine everyday?

Chlorine gas in used in water-treatment works and commercial swimming-pools, to disinfect the filtered water, at concentrations of 2ppm for potable water, 2-4ppm for swimming pools. Its compounds are most commonly found in household bleach, zinc-chloride primary cells (in batteries) and as table salt: sodium hypochlorate (or ~ite?), ammonium chloride and sodium chloride respectively.


Can you use sodium chloride rather than calcium chloride in fresh water swimming pool for hardness?

No, because it's not the chloride part that's responsible for the hardness, it's the calcium. Sodium chloride is actually used in water softeners, so it's not a great choice if you're looking to increase the hardness. You could use calcium hydroxide, though this will also make the pool more alkaline which may not be ideal.
