Lowes has it cheaper than Leslies. The pool stuff is most likely hidden in a corner of the garden section. Their pool chlorine may look like a deal, but it could be leftovers from last year and it will be just expensive salt water by now. You can check the date code easily enough.Thank You!! I will do that. I did purchase a bag of the Peladow which should arrive in the next week or so. I don't have any kind of stabilizer/Cyanuric acid on hand but I guess I can run down to the local pool store and pick some up this weekend, once I get a reading with my new kit. Thank you also for the suggestion on the format for the tests, I'll make sure I list the results in that manner. I also took some pictures of the condition of the plaster, but can't figure how to upload a picture. If you don't mind sharing that info. I would be very grateful.
As for uploading pictures, here's a tutorial. It's easy to figure out choose file, but the upload (right under "choose file" doesn't look like a button.
