Well isn't that just great! So I wonder what happened for the people who had success with it.

one thing to check befor you garbage it is your Mg level. if it is low and continuing to drop it will suppress your Ca level and you can add all day and it will not go up. you should have Mg at 1350ppm.

I also tested Mg (1485ppm) and alkalinity (6dKh...I know...low).
What is happening with your ALK when you dose? I used this stuff for a while and found it to be insufficiant for my system. Now I dose Kent's Turbo Calcium, and 2 part home made ALK additive. (baking and washing soda)

My first thought is that your not adding enough to keep up with your calcium demand
