i just did a test on my water in my intex 18x 52 in deep pool below are the readings

fc=3
tc=3
cc=0
ph=7.2
ta=60
cya=below 30, still i can see the dot even with the tester full

i just added 2 lbs of stabilizer in a sock yesterday and last night in front of the return jet so i imagine it is not getting a good reading on it yet, i heard on here somewhere it can take up to a week to show up on a test.
water is crystal clear and 76 degrees
i know there is some cya in the pool because it has held 3 ppm of cl for the last 24 hours with bright sunlight during the day.
am i doing this right ?

Yep, you're doing it right and the pool looks fabulous :goodjob:

Once that CYA is dissolved, maintain the FC levels based on the amount of CYA you have added to the pool - even tho it can take up to a week to show on test (as you know).

I suggest that you add some baking soda and get the TA from 60 to about 80.
