Complete Newbie here. Pool is about 1 month old, lurked around here a bit before joining. I just received my TF-100 test kit and will list my numbers below. I'm presently using a cannister type chlorine feeder for convenience. At least until I get the decking, landscaping and yard back in order. I'm moving a 28' x 40' pool deck in 4 pieces and going to install around my pool. Some adjustments will be necessary for sure. So I'll be spending a lot of time on it for awhile. I like the idea of the BBB method, excluding the required extra storage for the liquid chlorine. But my plans are to switch to that at some point. Below are my test numbers, please let me know if anything looks awry. I've read pool school and lots of other stuff, still trying to digest it all. I'm happy to be here and soak up the knowledge that folks share here on a regular basis.

I'm going to try and work the PH down closer to 7.5. OK, here's a question. When reading the PH if I look at the reading in natural light, it looks a bit higher (darker). If I hold it up to the light is seems lighter and closer to 7.5 What ya think?
