Pour white vinegar into the basin in order to stop calcium build up in your sump pump. The vinegar breaks up the calcium so it does not cause problems. Use one gallon of vinegar. You should do this as part of yearly maintenance.

It's not clear to me how you would get calcium deposits on your face; maybe a word or two got left out.

Anyway, they're almost certainly deposits of some calcium salt rather than calcium itself. As such, if you can't simply wash them off with water, you could use a dilute solution of a weak acid... vinegar would be a good choice.

Once calcium concentrations reach levels that cause problems, it's very difficult to deal with. An ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure in this case. If you're already at that unfortunate stage, you need to drain your pool, at least partially, and refill it with water that hopefully is not full of dissolved calcium. There are some chemicals that chemically bond with the calcium to prevent it from precipitating out of solution, but they're expensive and not totally effective. One common source of calcium contamination is chlorine based upon calcium hypochlorite. If I got it for free I wouldn't use it. Look for calcium-free chlorine, but if you have a vinyl liner, make sure your chlorine choice is compatible with vinyl.

to add calcium chloride which is usually sold in granular/flake form mix with water in a bucket and dissolve then add mixture all around pool and allow to circulate for several hours. be careful not to add too much or you will have to drain the pool to dilute! NEVER ADD WATER TO CALCIUM FLAKES. A violent heat reaction can occur. Always add the chemical to water, not vice versa.

The best way to prevent calcium buildup is to avoid using calcium hypochlorite-based sanitizers. Use some other source of chlorine, but if you have a vinyl liner, make sure it's compatible.

This can be accomplished with a was stripper from any flooring distributor. With a little elbow grease and a scubby sponge, like the ones used to clean stuck on food on pots.

A product by the name of CLR works great. Wear gloves though. Lime-Away works also but not as well, in my opinion. Lisa

Depends if the deposits are in joints, hollow organs (calculii), follicles or other specific areas.
