We have Intex 32 x 12 pool that holds 7600 gallons of water with a pump that does 2500 GPH. I've been testing with the HTH kit from Walmart. I thought my level were good, but then I had it tested at the pool store. The numbers are different on pH, Alkalinity, and Calcium Hardness. My question is should I try to bring these more inline? Also my combined chlorine seem high? I've been using the BBB method and the water looks great. I'm probably cleaning with vacuum every other day and trying to keep as much I can out of the pool. One more thing the chlorine hardly ever moves in the last week I only had the floater in the pool and have not added any liquid chlorine. I'm not sure but this the first year with a solar cover ( uncovered during the day and in direct sunlight from 10am till 4pm ) and stabilizer
