Been working on bringing the CH up and CYA. Little bit back, couldn't get it to maintain chlorine but now it's much much better Here are the results from the AquaChek yellow strrip and the ColorQ
Test strip:
FC - 10
PH - 8
ALK - 120
CYA - ~80 (hard to read)
ColorQ:
FC - Hi (doesn't read over 10)
PH - 7.7
ALK - 126
CH - 138
CYA - 26 (not trusting this one)
Before, it was all I could do to keep the FC at 1 with the swg at 100%. I worked for a week on the CYA then hit it with some cal-hypo to bring the FC up and it's been a high FC reading ever since (approx. a week with the swg at 85%) and the CYA on the strip sounds promising and it wasn't reading anything 2 weeks ago. Tonight, I added a half-gallon of Mur. Acid and turned the swg down to 65% to let it ease off some. I have to pick up some more CH+ tomorrow to bring it on up to the 240 range.
