Had the water retested (kit still on the way):
My numbers from repeat testing at Leslie's:
FC 6
CH 240
CYA 100
TA 90
pH 7.4
Phosphates 100 (previously 0)
I was surprised to find that the CYA only decreased to 100. The FC also bumped, but that's after a gallon of bleach. I would have thought that the CYA would be much lower given that I drained ~70% of the water volume. Oh well. Once the test kit arrives, I will test before draining and refilling again.
I also picked up a Jack's Magic Stain Test kit. Will try that to figure out which Jack's magic product I need. I need to get the Polyquat 60 and CUlator bags first so I will first work on getting the balance right then tackle the stains.
Thanks again, Warren!
