1. A method of regulating water hardness of a recreational body of water comprising the steps:

  • automatically determining a water hardness by using a calcium ion specific probe;

    determining processing parameters, wherein the processing parameters are a function of a size of the recreational body of water, the water hardness and a target range of water hardness;

    determining an amount of total dissolved solid in the recreational body of water;

    preventing leaching of an aquatic facility by maintaining a lower leaching-preventing threshold level of the total dissolved solid; and

    processing the recreational body of water based on a processing rate or a processing sequence including a series of periods, time and flow processing rate generated based on the processing parameters, wherein the processing reduces the water hardness, wherein the processing uses an electrochemically assisted ion exchange process to reduce the water hardness.
