What does it do?
Increases calcium hardness to prevent pool surface etching and equipment damage. When your calcium levels are low, your pool water becomes AGGRESSIVE and it will pull calcium from your surfaces and will cause calcium buildups.
How does it work?
It uses high-purity Calcium Chloride (990g/1000g) to safely boost calcium levels.
How is it applied?
Test your water, then add approximately 100g per 10,000L to raise hardness by about 10 ppm, distributing it around the pool with the pump running.
What water balance does it maintain?
It helps keep calcium hardness within the ideal range (200–400 ppm) for optimal water chemistry.
What are the additional benefits?
It’s cost-effective, made in Australia, and protects pool surfaces and equipment by maintaining proper water balance.

Water TechniX Calcium Up – Pool Hardness Enhancer
Water TechniX Calcium Up is a premium chemical solution designed to safely increase calcium hardness in swimming pools and spas. Maintaining the right calcium hardness is crucial to prevent surface damage, such as etching, which can lead to costly repairs.
💡 Did You Know Calcium build up can often be caused by not enough calcium in the water, rather than too much. This deficiency results in the pool water extracting calcium from the earth. The solution? Raising your calcium to its optimal level (200-400 ppm), even a little above, which will also aid in a "smooth" feeling to your pool water. Naturally, the calcium build up will then break down over time, with some help from some scrubbing.
Key Benefits:
-
Prevents Etching/White Calcium Build Up: When calcium hardness is too low, the water can dissolve calcium from pool surfaces, leading to rough, pitted areas. Calcium Up helps prevent this damage.
-
Maintains Proper Water Balance: Ensures your pool's calcium hardness level remains within the ideal range of 200-400 ppm, keeping water chemistry balanced.
-
Protects Pool Surfaces: Reduces the risk of water becoming aggressive and causing damage to your pool’s surface.
-
Made in Australia: High-quality product designed and manufactured locally, supporting Australian businesses.
How to Apply:
-
Test the Water: Use a reliable test kit to measure the current calcium hardness level in your pool. The ideal range is 200-400 ppm.
-
Calculate Dosage: Refer to the dosage guide to determine the required amount of Calcium Up based on your pool's size and current calcium hardness.
-
Add the Chemical: Slowly add the recommended amount of Calcium Up around the perimeter of the pool while the pump is running.
-
Run the Pump: Keep the pool pump running for at least 24 hours to ensure proper mixing and circulation of the chemical.
-
Retest the Water: After 24 hours, retest the calcium hardness. If necessary, repeat the process until the desired hardness level is achieved.
