    So, according to those levels all I need to add is chlorine.

    Readings are FC .2 PH 7.2 TA 50 CH 50 CYA 35 What targets should I use in the pool math calculator for adding chemicals? When adding calcium chloride, can I use Peladow calcium chloride? Thanks in advance.

    Yup, I have one sock in front of skimmer and other in front of jet. I'm guessing 2-3 days for the stabilizer to dissolve. how much clorox should I add?

    So, this test is a little tough to get use to. I made a mistake and multiplied by 100 and not 10. That said, my initial reading was 230. after adding my nightly clorox i tested again and I now have a CH of 330. Sorry for the confusion guys.

    New pool owner

    25 ML test I add 20 drops of R 0010 swirl then add 5 drops of r 0011L and the color goes purple. per the instructions I have it calls for adding 5-6 drops of the hardness reagent to the test water and then test as normal. When I do this first the test remains blue.
