Title: Strange
Post by: lawdawgva on October 12, 2006, 12:08:55 pm
I fresh filled  a couple of days ago.  My hardness was about 100 so I bumped it up to about 150 or so.  Then my TA was low so I got that up to about 120.  After that, my ph was a tad on the high side of course so I adjusted that down with about an oz. of ph down.  After everything was at acceptable levels, I added my dichlor and went to bed.  The next day (about 24 hrs later) I tested the calcium hardness again and now it is not even registering on the low end of my scale which is about 50 ppm.  Is this a fluke?  How could it go from 150 to  almost nothing?  I thought the only way you could get calcium out of the water was to drain part of it and add already softened water.  I didn't add any sequestering agent.  Anyone heard of this?  Thanks!
