Hi Vernon...
Swimming Pools can be overwhelming when you first get started and are unfamiliar with pool water chemistry. I suggest you start in Pool School, the link is in my signature, and read all the articles from top to bottom. I also recommend you get yourself a good test kit, like the
TF-100 or the
Taylor K-2006. You can compare the two test kits using the article in Pool School.
What are you currently using to test your water?
I know you feel like you have spent a ton of money. With the BBB method we advocate here, your pool products will be purchased at regular stores and tend to cost less than expensive "pool products" like "sock it" and the like. So by switching to BBB you will spend less money on your pool, I promise you that.
In addition to the results you gave us, we need to know your CC, your TH or CH, and your CYA (is your "ca.below 30.50") is that your
CYA result?
What color is your water - green/cloudy? Clear?
Is this an Intex pool?
Your PH is too high, you need to get some Muratic Acid from the hardware store and read about how to Lower PH. Use the Pool Calculator for dosing, the link is in my signature.
Your FC is too low, it should not be less than 2ppm, and it may need to be higher than that depending on your CYA level. The rest of your test results will give us some clues as to whether we'd advise you to shock your pool (with
liquid chlorine) or just up the amount you have in there now.
Can you please update your signature by going to "User Control Panel" - top left, then "Profile" and then "Edit Signature" - include your pool equipment and specs there. It will be most helpful to those responding to your posts.
