Welcome to the forum poolcruz! First thing is first, since you were told that info, that means you probably had the pool store do the test? We highly recommend you stay away from them as their tests are always not very accurate and they really just want to sale you stuff. The 2 tests kits recommended here are the Taylor k-2006(my choice) or the TF-100(very popular). There will be people by shortly with better write ups and links.
Switching to bleach, regular unscented, not splash less, just regular bleach as soon as possible will be in your best interest. Order a test kit, let's get some good numbers, and we can direct you from there.
Also, please update your signature so we know the pool and equipment you have.
Thanks!
Josh
