Newbie here! I have recently switched to trouble free pool methodology because I couldnt seems to be consistent with either Leslie's or HTH test strips. Currently my situation is my free chlorine is not registering after using pool math and adding the correct dosage of recommend it d bleach. Help!
Help with my test results please

Do you have a TF-100 (or Taylor K-2006C) test kit yet? That has ro be step #1 so we can see a full set of water test results to give you the best advice.
I did a full test albeit was my first time user of the test. It tests for FC,CC,PH,TA,CH,CYA. I put all info into pool math and did the requested additions. FC is still showing 0 CC showing 0-1

Then you might be okay with the basics, but you still want the FAS-DPD for accurate FC testing. See the link below. That will essentially make your K-2005 kit a K-2006 test kit.
FAS/DPD Chlorine Test Kit
Can you give us your test numbers and what you added to your pool?
Ah, nevermind. Its in your pool logs. Good job.

Check your data. What you have posted has some non-realistic data. FC of 0 but CC of 12. TA of 12.
100 is the limit of the CYA test, so you have to do a diluted test. Mix 50% pool water with 50% tap water. Use this mixed sample as your test water. Multiply the result by 2 for your CYA level.
Sorry the CC should be 2...and for pool math should I always put in rpm number?

Yes, very much. Your CYA is quite high. The pH a bit low as well. That's a concern. Are you using tabs/pucks?
Sorry for a delayed response. I used to use clorine pucks but have abandoned that for now because my cya was really high and had to partially drain my pool.

Wow, your CYA really dropped. Did you do a large water exchange since the last time you were with us? Numbers aren't bad except for the FC. You need to keep that higher with liquid chlorine or regular bleach as noted on the FC/CYA Levels. This time of year, if you let the FC drop too low you can get algae very quickly.
