How are you getting your numbers? It seems like your CYA reading is different with every update. CYA shouldn't fluctuate like FC does. In some updates, you have a reading of 65, others you have a reading of 60 and yet others you are posting 50.
I would not test anything other than FC and CC with the FC level you have. The PH test is not reliable above FC of 10.

Don't feel so bad. I'm only 35 and I still can't tell if I see that **** dot sometimes.
The only test that is inaccurate is the pH when the FC > 10ppm ... but there is no reason to test anything else until you are done.
Keep it up, it's worth it.
Your getting closer. Keep it up!
First thing is to get bleach in the pool. With FC 2.5 it's going to drop in the sun today and you will end up near 0.You guys rock! Pool is clear, looking good. PH is at 7.2, and seems to be rising on its own.
FC=2.5. I'll add some bleach tonight.
CC=0
PH=7.2
TA=30
CYA=60
I know the alkalinity is low, but I'm trying to move slowly. Any advice?
Thanks,
Mike

Baking Soda will bring the TA up without messing with your pH. Try getting it to about 60
You can do it in a couple of steps. Keep pump running for about an hour then test again.Thanks,
Will do.
I've added a gallon of bleach. Pool math says to add 141oz. of baking soda to reach 60. That sounds like a lot to do at once. Should I do it incrementally, and if so, over what period?
Thanks y'all!
Mike
