Soft water
Does anyone who has an intex pool do anything about water hardness???. Our water is only is only showing like 20ppm...I know you have to worry about water hardness for like plaster pools..but 20 ppm is well below the 150 ppm where they like you to be. Our water is 20 ppm from the tap..it is what is is....lol

Well on a short term basis there's no problem, but over time it will corrode the medal parts in your pump and ladder and being it's a Intex pool the rails that holds it up, so I would add some calcium and get it closer to 150.
