5 things you have to know about German guys: 1. They are responsible. Of course Iâm generalizing in all of these points. But every generalization is partly true. They like having fun, but only when itâs appropriate. If you come from Latin lands and shout when talking, youâll scare him.
The ideal range for calcium hardness is 250-350 ppm. If the calcium hardness is too low, the water becomes corrosive and results in the etching of the pool's surfaces. Metals corrode - and this includes pool equipment, pipe fittings and pump connections. As a result, the pool's walls and floor can stain.
Reduce Pool Water Hardness. 1  Take a water sample from a depth of at least 12 inches from the water surface. 2  Add a reagent from a hardness test kit to the water sample and check the result against the guide provided by the test kit manufacturer. 3  Drain some of the water in the pool if the water hardness level is too high. Add fresh water to replace the water you remove from the pool. Collect another sample of the pool water and conduct the hardness test again to check that the hardness is between 200 to 400 ppm.
