I suggest you read the Pool School. You should also get your own good test kit (the Taylor K-2006 or the TFTestkits TF-100) so that you can know your number far more accurately. If your pool is plaster, you need to measure Calcium Hardness (not Total Hardness) and probably add calcium chloride. If you have a vinyl pool, then the calcium level is not important.
