Those strips are useless they always read an off the chart color on the ph. You really need a proper test kit ..it is a requirement to properly take care of a pool it will pay for itself in a very short time !
With a proper test kit your in charge of your pool!
Without one the pool is in charge and will win everytime and drive you crazy trying to fix it!
But I don't trust it. Strips will foul you up every time. Been there done that... Firm believer in a good test kit now. They can give you a general idea but I would never adjust chemicals using them again.
DO NOT trust the CYA reading on that. It is never even close to accurate.
Are you seeing a problem? Three different people see three different values. I've used several different pH tests and the K-1000 test is the best I've seen as far as being able to tell the pH accurately.
You really should consider ordering a good test kit.
