How do you clean calcium deposits with muriatic acid?
Prepare Your Cleaning Solution Fill your bucket with a gallon of water. Pour 8 ounces of muriatic acid into your measuring cup, then slowly pour that acid into the water. Always pour acid into water instead of the other way around, because acid is more likely to splash out the other way.

Can you get the calcium scale off a vinyl pool liner?
The lowering PH approach can eventually get the scale off, but it can take a very long time. Plus if the CH level gets too high, which it will eventually, it will stop working until you replace water to get CH back down. Also it is important to not lower PH below 6.8 as that will damage the liner.
Why do I have calcium scale in my Pool?
This is due to calcium deposits being left on the pool’s surface after water has evaporated. Scaling usually forms in the warmer areas of the pool first – sunny spots, spillways/shallow areas, heat exchangers, and salt cells. Pools that are finished with dark tiles and stones will also keep the pool water warmer and are prone to scale.
