Don't waste time and energy looking for a better value on test kits, the TF100 is the best deal around. I did the looking and spent the extra money, but you don't have to make the same mistake. Just go here: TFTestkits. I use Pool Calculator for min/max, and shocking chlorine levels.

Oops! I overlooked that you were already shocking.....sorry.
That's quite puzzling but I doubt it's anything that was in your pool but rather something the rain deposited.
