Thanks everyone. I just couldn't read those stupid strips or the feel confident in the way the drip test was reading chlorine. I tried posting for help reading it but couldn't get a response here or any other forum. It's weird.... I have noticed that no one responds to pleas to help read...

I am still waiting on my better test kit but was able to get a pH and chlorine test curbside. It is literally the only thing aside from strips I can find here. I can't read this any better than the strips. What do I need to do now to make this swimable? It looks to me that my chlorine/CYA...

OK.... so.... don't add the puck... I still don't have the right kind of liquid chlorine so am I out of luck to swim until then? I thought chlorine levels needed to be between 1 and 4 and anything over 5 was too high to swim?

These are our current test results. The CYA is about 2/3rd dissolved so far. Do we need to add more shock and have it spike and lower or not? We will get liquid chlorine soon (and need some instructions!) but would it be acceptable to put a floater with a puck in now temporarily until...

You are right! It is just 6%. How does everyone feel about the amount of shock and CYA we added? I am going to go run out and test it real quick now.

We did .5 lb because the whole package said it treated 12.5 k gallons and was a 1 lb package.

Okay. We went ahead and added .5 lb of the "7 way shock" I do also have the chlorine tabs and I have some crazy high duty germicidal bleach in my laundry room but no idea how I would even use that. I will test the level after dinner and come back and report?

Okay! Had the sock ready. CYA is hanging in front of output now.
