Product Description
Protect your pool’s infrastructure and extend the life of your equipment with E-Z Clor Calcium Hardness Increaser (4 lbs). Low calcium levels can lead to "soft water," which becomes aggressive—leaching minerals directly from your pool’s plaster, grout, and stone surfaces, while also corroding metal heat exchangers and fixtures. This concentrated granular formula effectively raises the calcium hardness of your water, creating a balanced environment that prevents costly etching and pitting. Simple to apply and fast-dissolving, E-Z Clor provides the essential mineral foundation needed to maintain crystal-clear water and a pristine pool finish.
Key Features
- Surface Protection: Specifically formulated to stop the erosion of plaster, tile grout, and pebble finishes caused by low calcium levels.
- Equipment Longevity: Helps prevent the corrosion of metal components, including heaters, ladders, and pump seals, by balancing water chemistry.
- Concentrated Formula: High-purity granular flakes allow for precise dosing and rapid integration into the pool water.
- Reduces Staining & Scaling: By maintaining an ideal calcium range (typically 200–400 ppm), it helps prevent water from becoming corrosive or forming unsightly scale.
- Essential for All Pool Types: Crucial for plaster, gunite, and concrete pools, and highly recommended for vinyl and fiberglass to protect metal hardware.
- Easy Application: Dissolves quickly when added directly to the water or pre-dissolved in a bucket, ensuring no cloudy residue is left behind.

Warnings and Disclaimers
- Heat Reaction: Calcium Chloride generates heat when mixed with water. Always [add chemical to water](https://ezclorchemicals.com), never water to chemical, to avoid splashing or "boiling" reactions.
- Over-Treatment Risk: It is significantly easier to add calcium than to remove it. High levels (>400 ppm) can cause [cloudy water and scaling](https://ezclorchemicals.com) on equipment and tile lines.
- Storage Hazard: This product is highly hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air). Keep the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry place to prevent it from turning into a solid block.
- Safety Gear: Can cause skin and eye irritation. Use gloves and eye protection when handling granular flakes.
💡 Pro-Tips for Success
- The Slurry Secret: For the best results, [pre-dissolve the product](https://ezclorchemicals.com) in a bucket of pool water before pouring it around the perimeter. This prevents undissolved flakes from sitting on the pool floor and causing localized heat spikes on the finish.
- Circulation is Key: Run your pump for at least 4-6 hours after application to ensure the minerals are evenly distributed throughout the entire body of water.
- Test Before You Toss: Always test your [Total Alkalinity (TA) and pH](https://ezclorchemicals.com) before adjusting calcium. Water balance is a see-saw; getting your pH right first makes the calcium adjustment more effective.
- Vinyl Protection: Even though vinyl pools don't have plaster, you still need calcium to [protect the metal ladders](https://ezclorchemicals.com) and the internal copper heat exchanger in your heater.
